There is too much sidewalk at the bottom of this photo. I would've cropped it a bit more.

background is very distracting, I trying to figure out whats in the back taking my attention away from the dog. I would have like to see a sparkle in the dogs eye to draw my attention more to it.

3 - Looks a bit snapshottish, however your title is quite amusing in contrast. Different background would have helped this. Looks like some pixelation issues as well. Frame detracts in my opinion.

I think this is a handsome young dog and wished there were more of her and less of the fussy albeit textured contrast background.

Cute idea and cute pup. My only gripe is that your background is busy. You have the lace, which looks ok, but I can still see the other pattern under it. Try to keep your background simple and plain. :)

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.

cute dog, the background needs to be solid to really make the dog pop here

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
