I know it is probably not a price winner. And I think there wil be a lot of comments on "is it an odd couple"? To me it is. Because of his odd-eyes he's got 2 sides. His Blue eye is his naughty side and the brown is his sweet side. I think that's an odd couple in one dog! Every time I saw this challenge I thought of him, so finally I was thinking to myself "What the heck, let's introduce my Bernese Mountain Dog on DPC"

Okay, now to the critique. From the comments you wrote you already knew this probably wouldn't do well because of the subject. I think it might have done rather well if you had come in from a diffrent angle than you did. The DOF is well done and the paws leading you into the shot is nice but you are trying to isolate the eyes, so the oddness of the colors to each other. The tilt of the head is wonderful and the lighting is also okay, but the eyes get lost in the overall picture and there isn't enough here to make most people stop and really try to find the oddity of the one eye.
If you could get him to look at the camera, head on and really focus on the eyes I know this would have done much better. I love the shot you have of him in your portfolio, made it a favorite. :)
Hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges!
seems to me it would have been better to isolate the oddity you were going for. i looked for a moment trying to find the pair before reading the caption.
