my opinion-the picture is perfect like it is i would never change anything about the picture-one:it's hard to capture that perfect shot when the dog is asleep 2:great lighting and how did you do it 3:beautiful dog i love the fact that you can almost see the whole dog but the most important being the dog's face was in focus i gave it a 10!
7 - Like this and the potential. Criticism; although I know difficult with the black of the dog and the 'shine'/contrast issues, just a touch too bright/shiny on his(?) face in my opinion and either he(?) is a very good 'faker' or you did very well to capture (sneak up on) him asleep. Really like the effect against the floor(?), just wish that the left side 'something' near his face were cropped (but I don't imagine you got too many chances with this shot), and that maybe the nose and 'up' were sharper focus, and as I said, the 'lighting'. Maybe the slightest nudge rotation up on the right, who knows.
This is the cutest dog in the world and he is also mine :) hehe - he is actually black but the floor and the sofa on the left are brown and in this lightning - flaslighting - he looks brown as well, and by the way, his name is Nói :)
How cute! Great work on this. I love how you've chosen to lay out the photo, though the stitching on the left side distracts the eyes from the dog a little.
