Great composition. I love how you've positioned the dog's nose in the lower right corner -- with the head running diagonal across the image. Also like this as a black and white very much. One of my favorites this week - 9.
this is actually a nice pet photo... The contrast is a touch weak for me but the composition is very nice.. the triangulation created by the nose in teh lower corner definitely catches my eye.. good shot! = 7 - jmsetzler
Love puppies...but I think you could have capture more of his/her personality with a different view. I like the black and white, great focus, and the lighting is pretty neat too. 6 Lisa
Nice pet portrait. If you have a chance, I think it would be better to photograph him/her on a darker or lighter background so he/she doesn't blend into the carpet so much. Also, though I like the light on the top of the head and how it brings out the texture of the fur, that on the left of the photo is a little distracting. It also feels quite closely cropped...I might try giving him/her a little more room in the frame.
great portrait of a beauty. I'm guessing this is a standard? Your lighting really shows off the silky coat and strong headshape. Did you use two lights or just the natural? I wish my doxie had a protrait as well-shot!
