This is excellent. As MayaM said this is technically extremely well done. However I kind of wonder what the dog is looking at so if you could have it be a horizontal crop with more space to the left I think it would be stronger.

I really like this one. The bird under the giraffe really gives us an idea of the scale. A little bit more negative (empty) space infront of the giraffe would be nice though.

This one is great! Lighting, composition, color, dof and focus. The best of you doggie bunch!

Sorry, nothing bad to say about this one...

This shot has a lot of potential, but the one problem is that it is slightly out of focus. Unfortunately, this really detracts from the shot. Compositionally it is very good though.

Comment by MayaM:
I like this one a lot. It sets a good mood. I would suggest to improve it, perhaps a composition on thirds. Now, you have dead space in the left of the pic. If the dog was on the left we would look at the dog, and then our eye would follow his gaze and we would wonder whats out there... Right now, we look at the dog follow his gaze and then check out the left of the photo and find nothing of intrest there.

Hope this helps,

Maya

Great color captured in this one.

To improve this, try taking the pic on his level, I see that just a few of the dog photos are on the level of the dog, but most are from the humans vantage point. Look 'em eye to eye. It will add more interest, and draw the viewer in more. You love them because they are yours. We need to have a connection established for us. Make sense?

I like this one, I always like flower macros, but I wish the crop were more symmetrical. You cut the black and yellow portion off of the bottom. Also, a very slight sharpening after you resize can help. The focus although ok, could get a bit of a lift from the sharpening.
