This is expsoed really nice but there's really nothing that's the center of attention. It's almost just a pattern.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Very nice focus and great depth of field use. The crisp focus on the dog's eye is very right for this photograph.

Lighting: Your lighting is just a touch too harsh. The overexposed area on his left cheek is significantly distracting and surely detracted from the overall score. In an advanced editing challenge, I try to expose for the highlights, as burning out light areas that I want dark is fairly easy to do. I do find the side lighting very appealing and the shadows your created very interesting.

Composition/Content: Great doggie expression, and the dog's position leads the viewer deep into the photograph. I agree with ShutterPug in that I would also like to see the rest of the dog's snoot and paw. With this crop, everything feels tense and crowded.

My Opinion: I think you met the challenge very well and very creatively. With some slight lighting and cropping changes, this one surely would have scored a good deal higher.

Eric
