Interesting idea; but i think the execution is lacking. The out of focus portion is front an center, which might contribute to the problem.

i like that the title is really changing the way i perceive this picture. i like her pose, i'm guessing you captured her right when she's going to sleep. and love the way she looks at you.

Defintely an unusual pose you don't often see in a 'bird shot'. Composition is really holding this back, otherwise a nice shot.

Great focus in the centre of the image. I'd be interested to know what lens you were using for this as I struggle with these kind of shots with my current kit... but it is the kit lens so I shouldnt expect miracles... but back on track: i like it. Subtle colours and pretty composition.

A remarkable shot! To me it shows the complete and utter trust that dogs have for their owners - for people in general if they've been treated well. Excellent detail, and a shot that works very well as B&W. I think that a color version would lose the intensity of feeling that this conveys.

I like the idea that you've hidden half of the model's face and makes you wonder what the other half of him is like. With everyone's facial asymetry, one can only guess and that's part of the mystery, isn't it?

As for the photo itself.....as one struggling with learning myself, I think it might be much stronger if the contrasts in tones of B&W were a bit stronger.
