I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Lovely portrait - I love the balance between the subjects and your lighting is to die for. The clarity of the Great Dane is just amazing and I really like the edge of your model's hat - it fills a little space top left in the frame adds a great deal of balance. Her expression and direction of gaze gives a great juxtaposition with the stare of the dog.

Critical stuff: I hope the clipping of the paws doesn't hurt you too much.

Overall: Lovely, lovely shot.

The dog is better lit than the woman, which is too bad. I would have liked to see more light on her face. Nevertheless a really great and really interesting portrait. I am giving this an 8

This is great! I wish there was a bit more space under his feet and the right side of the dogs face was lit a bit more.

Beautiful mono, wonderful lighting, maybe a tad too much on the dog's hind and right side of face. The human model lighting I like, makes for the mood. Well done.8
