I can see it now. You are gonna get hit big time because this is not B&W. They were discussing this in a forum. But it still is a beautiful portrait of a beautiful dog. And he is keeping his eye on you. Just in case you decide to go outside, he's not going to be left behind. Great shot. Technically I would have to cut the score because it's technically not B&W. But it still would be an 8. 2 is enough to cut for that. PTL

Cute but a little too dark, especially on the bottom side. I like the idea and the B&W. Good focus and cropping. Really like the angle of her head. Just needs better execution. Still a 5 is not really bad. PTL

Cute girl, and nicely framed, but the lighting isn't very good for a portrait. The soft focus on her face doesn't really work in this photo.

challenge not met (in my opinion. for me, humans, or their presence was not to be included in the challenge). sorry. having got that out of the way, i'd like to comment on your photo, anyway. you have a very nice portrait here. i like how he is turning towards the camera, and that waterdrop is falling off his face. the catchlight in the eyes is great. you may get some comments on the shadow from the flash, and, while it isn't ideal, it's actually not that noticeable here, so i wouldn't worry too much about it. a great portrait of a very cute kid :)

I see where you're going with this, but there was *some* human intervention needed to create a child. :-)

I suspect you may have had a hand getting this little one started. It's a cute photo, but IMO, not the challenge. It's a very cute and appealling photo, but I have to mark you down for the challenge. Sorry. 6 Swash
