Now I decided that I wasn't going to vote on this challenge because the honest truth is I'm not a big fan of pet pics.

However your picture is outstanding, the framing is perfect and I love the depth of field. That coupled with the white background just sets this above the rest.

I'm also impressed a I know photgraphing black dogs can be difficult.

He looks friendly little chap I have to say.

All in all it's a 10 from me (so now I'm going to have to mark the rest to make sure this 10 sticks eh)

Hey Laura

Well done with your first entry, you scored higher than I did with my first.

I've looked at your settings and with a shutter speed of 1/32s I think the focus problem is likely to be due to camera shake.

Try aperture priority and set to something like F16 or higher to get a better depth of field and hence more focus from foreground to background.

Personaly I prefer to use a lower ISO as well to reduce noise.

The only issue with what I'm sugesting is that you would most likely need to pop your camera on a tripod or at least balance it on something and use the timer.

Hey and now you have some software try using an Unsharp Mask

I really don't like the boarder, I'd have gone for a thin one all round.

Great shot, and the sepia just adds to it, and the only title you could possibly have used 9
