Favorite blanket

This shot just oozes comfy. I like the focus on the blanket and his paw. The cat soft inthe background is a very nice touch. SHould have done better with the voters. Good job Deb.

First Posing Session

I think a tighter crop and maybe the model gazing closer in the direction of the camera would have been good - flirting with the camera maybe? Nice colors. Standing a bit further away from the background may have gotten rid of the little shadow. Nice shot.

The dof was too harsh for me on this one. If it blended in a bit more gently I think it could have been a stronger shot. Cool texture - even though I would have no clue what it was.

Not much to say that hasnt been said or acknowledged. Looks like you have a couple of good dogs.

I gave you a 4 on this one. Didnt deserve a 1. It did make me smile and it is always nice to see someone thinking outside of the box. This one you may have jumped a little too far outside.

Just Leaf Me Alone

Poor focus overall. Looking back at past leaf shots that did well it seems as many are back lit to give a nice glow. Burning out the shadows may have helped bring out the detail a bit more.

Jump, Nippin, Jump

I had a real tough time trying to capture my cat jumping (actually landing as I was throwing him) so kudos on this one. I have no clue how to take good action shots so my critique is from complete ignorance. The shot seems a bit harsh - not a clean focus and the colors are not strong. My eyes are drawn to his eye. If you had caught him clean and the pic was crisp I think you would have done much better.

Very nice shot. I love the muted colors. Just makes the shot all the more relaxing. Great gaze in the eyes. Well done.

Thought this would have been higher than it was. Good shot with nice lines (and curves). Well done.
