(quote from your post)"How would this have done?" I think it would have easily made the top 1/3rd, and I would have scored it a 7. I don't score many 8's, 9's or 10's. The bars make it easy to crop this correctly and this crop is perfect. Too many times I see a tilted horizon which is so simple to avoid but a lot of people don't. The detail in the black of the fur is great which, for me, is difficult to get right. Again, you did a good job there too. Nobody could have directed a human to such a perfectly framed pose as well as is done here either. I like the stare which seems to go right through the viewer, and overall, I like this shot.
