Comment by CNovack:
The set-up is cute but the choice of background is way too distracting for the viewer to fully appreciate the poochie. The lace background is good to create the illusion of a white christmas or snow but one has to remember you can see through it. And there is alot of distracting colors and objects behind that lace backdrop. Placing a solid white cloth behind the lace one will help create a subtle idea of a white christmas/snow AND provide a solid white background for Athena to visually stand out on. As the composition stands now she is just lost in a jumble ot colors and textures that don't allow her to shine as the main subject.

Love this shot. I think that perhaps, had the background been blurred just a bit, it might have put more focus on Athena. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think that it's the "busyness" of the detail in the lace background and what's under it that's causing a bit of "distraction" from the subject in the photo??? I could be wrong, but just my own perspective on an otherwise GREAT photo.

Contrast is too much, the brown blends in too much.

so what does the title have to do with the image. It actually hurts the presentation of the image

The on camera flash is distracting - the hard shadow is a giv away the tag at the fromt of the lace should have been obscured in some way. I think that the angle that this image was shot is awkward. Sorry for the toughness

Too cluttered, the busy background takes attention away from what should be the subject in a portrait, the person.
