I didn't get a chance to get to this one during the challenge but I will go ahead and comment now. I gave this a 7 and here is the reasoning. I love the dog. I love the expression and I even love the slightly off center. What bugs me though the most is the lighting. There is some nice bright light in the back (too bright for what you want) and while it could work for back lighting, it's too far back and ends up being distracting instead. I'm not a fan of dodging and burning but this is one situation where just a slight amount, burn the back just a bit and dodge the dog just a touch would really bring the balance of light back. Hope this helps!

cute dog! Less sharpening and tighter crop may improve image.

such a beautiful face! I would have cropped this tighter to leave out some of the background on the right

Nice capture of expression. I like the uncluttered background. One small nit would be the dog tag
