A Taste of Honeyby

Hi
Kari from the critique club.
First impression
I think that you have a very still animal and are so lucky for this shot. This is an interesting interpretation on the title.
Subject
I am sure this meets the challenge, going from the comments you have recieved ... I wasn't around back when and didn't really get into their songs .. so I think this is a job well done.
Composition
Just a slight more space on the left and the honey would have been pouring down the vertical thirds line. The dogs eye also seems very centered in the shot ... so adding this space and perhaps the dogs tags into the shot would have taken this feeling away. The dog himself though creates a nice leading line taking the eye up to the honey dripping down. I wonder how it would have looked if it was mirrored to take the eye through to the right side of the picture rather than the left.
Technicals
This are you have exceeded in. You have an incredibly sharp picture with good focus, down to the slight catchlight in the dogs eye.
Improving the score
Remove all pet shot haters from the voting pool (just an idea). I think that trying different crops may have been the idea here. That is not to say that this is not a good shot in the first place.
Finals
This is a really good shot ... well done
If you have any comments on the critique feel free to PM me.
Regards
Kari
