Well captured...the plain sandy background (Beach?) keeps distractions to the minimum and the shadows add an extra dimension.Would have scored a 10 with me if the image had included all of the larger dog.
Good work..9

Nice take on the challenge..no argument about whether this meets the challenge or not.

Flower and Weeds

Nice "centred" shot that also works well for this challenge..the colour contrast adds to the overall feel of the image. You may have had criticism for your shallow DOF putting the weeds being out of focus??.. (as they are part of the subject)..but no such criticism from me.. it doesn`t spoil my enjoyment of this excellent image

I thought I would see this amongst the ribbons.
Great shot.
My original comment during the challenge was very lengthy and so I decided to cut it..but it was based on the same comment as "Whagerbaumer" made about cutting the image off at the eyebrow..it definitely added impact to the image for me when I held my hand up to the screen and viewed the image without the hairline and ear.One of the pictures where a fifty/fifty compositional split works well.
Great work though..well done
