The set up here is perfect. It appears dark on my monitor, but that is my only suggestion. The expressions and the subject placements and everything else is spot on. You did just a marvelous job with this series! :)

My favorite so far! Really natural looking pose, but kind of polished looking as well. The lines and colors just work together very nicely in this shot, and I like her looking right at the camera. You've done a really excellent job with this series.

I would call this one "Happy Dog" ...looks like she's proabably waggin' that tail even though we can't see it!

Really nice expression and feel to the shot, but it appears a bit dark on my monitor (which usually runs a bit bright.) I would try to brighten the white level a bit, and if you can bring out the eyes a bit more, that would be great. The catchlight is good, but the eyes just seem like black marbles...no color variation. She seems like such a sweet pup!

This is a cute capture but I get more of a sense of long marriage and romance than of motherhood from this. This cute couple deserves better lighting than the harsh flash of this photo.

THis is my fav of the series. She's so happy and relaxed. Love her eyes. In a perfect set up, the berber carpet would be a black or white solid surface, but in a home setting, this is awesome!~! The colors are wonderful yet not overdone. BRAVO my good pal!!!

This is cute but I am not sure if there is focus on the eyes, the legs and teeth seem to be nicely in focus but not the eyes and ears. Might just be my eyes or the soft vignette you have used.

The softness works well in this one, places the emphasis on her expression, this is a great shot, I love it, the expression, the eyes are in focus and just her whole pose with the presents in the background.

Awe - look at that expression! Nice shot. It's like she is inviting you to come pay with her and her toy.
