Composition-Yes, this is interesting. The ?? in the upper left has great lighting that gives it a darling expression. Of course the dog hidden with his sweet face/eyes is very likeable. The crop is super. The focus is just a little soft and could of been sharper.

Content-Very nice. I would only of suggested that the other stuffed animals be upright so we could see their faces.


Background-Perfect

Technical-Very nice, there is just one area of over exposure (flashing) on the lower left.

Fits The Challenge-Yes 100%

My Opinion On The Photo-I like this photo and was amazed to see it didn't do better in the challenge.

Lovely lighting and composition

This is great! If not for a few things I would have given it my highest score .
First , some of the other stuffie's faces are obscured or face down?Except for the lamb and the round headed guy.More of the little stuffed guys faces should be seen so as to camoflague the dog. But it would still be obvious that he was real.
The vacant area in the upper right is a ... well, empty. Your eyes get lost there.7

Very funny and a wonderfull composition. I especially like how the lama at the top (or whatever beast it may be) is looking towards me and prevents that all my attention is just focused on the dog. Great usage of lighting too.

Challenge met. Very cute picture. The only thing that bothers me is the big dark spot in the upper right corner. I'm not sure what I'd do with it yet, but it keeps drawing my eye up to that corner and off of the subject.

Cute shot! I get the idea, but honestly, I had hoped for more out of this world strange-ness. The shadow across the back and the glare on the gray and white thing in front are a bit difficult, but this is a photo of opporunity (or at least it looks that way), so I'm a little more forgiving. 8 Swash

Nice capture. I like it. Jacko.

Fun shot. It reminds me of the scene in ET.

Your cute dog thinks you are strange for putting him there.

Great idea, I think with a little more light this photo would be better. I'm not sure if you used a tripod but your photo is blurry because of focus or a slow shutter speed. Invest in lights or a tripod.

Cute. He looks like hes hating this. HA!

Great subject! Focus is too soft and a bit distracting! Good luck!

I love the puppy and really like the photo but don't like the dark blank on the right side all the way up. Was this intentional? Can't believe he just laid there under all those animals. Way to go. PTL

Not a huge fan of pet shots, but yours is an exception. I like the look on the dogs face, lighting and overall mood of the shot. Well done, in my top 10 this week.

I love this shot. Does the dog usually sleep there? He/She looks very content and comfortable. Good lighting. The stuffed rabbit in the front looks a bit out of focus-my only complaint. Great work!
