		| | This is a great portrait, favorite dog the Lab I think, If you want to change the mood try to capture his attention with a ball or something, so he stares at the lens for a different drama, and what a great locale!

		| | This is perfection.  You placed well, but you should have ribboned, IMHO....or at least got Honorable Mention.  Great focus, dramatic clouds and landscape, smooth-as-silk reflection, cute subject. I'm sorry I didn't make it to this in this Challenge...slow dial-up limits which voting I complete.  Well done!

		| | Not a typical shot with hiker, etc. etc.  Love the dog as a change of pace from the normal.  9 |

		| | Nice view!  Could have used more contrast and the dog is almost in the way ;) All this just imo, obviously. Good luck!

		| | This is refreshing on two levels--it is an unusual landscape and an unusual pet portrait. You have managed to break away from two cliches in one shot. Also, it looks great. Kudos! |

		| | This is only my opinion - Note that I am a dog lover and this guy looks real cute - but the dod takes away from a beautiful nature shot. |

		| | Really nice landscape photo, but I find the inclusion of the dog spoils it a bit. It looks like the wilderness in the middle of nowhere, and then theres a labrador (or golden retriever?) there, domesticating the scene. Do you know what I mean? Now if it was a wolf or something... :) |

		| | This is the third time I have looked upon this image and I have to say that every time I see it I see the dog, Bodget, from the 1963 movie The Incredible Journey. When I see this lone dog I can't help but wonder where his other two companions, Lauth and Tao, are:-) I cannot help but see this dog traveling a long journey like that of in the movie to get back home. The composition and setting are very eye appealing. The only main critique I have on this photo is that the colors could be richer in hue - they look a bit washed out. Depending on the capabilities of the camera you could adjust the saturation & color as well as contrast levels in the camera OR you could do that in photoshop. |

		| | Wonderful shot, I'm really drawn into this shot much like the other one you did. Perfect choice for this challenge. I like how the lake is glass, and the passing storm adds drama to the shot. Well done. |

		| | I think this would be a lot better without the dog.  It's a perfectly nice dog, but it doesn't really add anything to the impact of the image, so it just seems out of place. |

		| | Oh no, your not gonna get me again, this time I am going to watch you, and you BETTER throw that stick!! 
 Such a pleasant scene and the dog looks so focused on whatever its looking at. It draws you in and makes you want to know more.

		| | I'm not one for dogs, but this one really sets the mood for the rest of the shot. Without the dog, I probably would have given it an (8) for being a typical, yet appealing, landscape.  I gave it a (9) |
