Very nice technology shot. I wouldn't have thought of the backlight. Visually stunning.

There is something very striking about this photo, but I can't put my finger on it. Is that the sun reflecting off the bottom of the (whatever it is)? If so, (and this is just intended as constructive critique) if it was possible to catch the rising sun in the distant horizon, the impact would have been grand!

I was very disappointed to see that your baby picture actually scored worse than a number of others. I guess it just goes to show that we all view things differently.

There were a few baby pictures submitted this time (like none of us expected it). Yours was by far the best framed shot of a baby.

I am beginning to think I need to take a class in composition and display. You and a number of the contestants blow me away with your presentation.

You have a very interesting subject to start with. If I may suggest, a black background may have greatly enhanced this photo. Then some brightening and sharpening. If your camera is capable of exposure compensation, you might shot this in 1/3 intervals.

First of all, I like the shot. I think the puppy is very cute and innocent looking.
Your title may have driven home better if you also captured the shelter it came from somehow.

Your picture is centered well.
As I am beginning to learn here at DPC, presentation another part of the equasion. Having the show in a shoe box (even if it didn't originally come in one) would be part of the message of something being new. Perhaps shooting this inside the store instead of inside a home would also add a nice touch to the background.
You've got a fairly good eye for "balance."
