Lovely colour, it would be good to see more of the eyes.

Really like the warm lighting you used, would have liked just a tad bit more lighting on the left side of the face.

This is a beautiful image, with great lighting - I just wish I could see the eyes better. 7

6 - Nice lighting on the left, but wish the lighting allowed the dog's right eye to come through stronger. Minor, but the inner frame perhaps a little more subtle color.

add a light or a reflector on the left side of the dog to get rid of the shadows

I really like this shot, though I think it need to be a bit lighter on the right (IMO), but nice lighting and beautiful dog.

Soft is the immediate impression. I like the perspective-at eye level- and the shadows.

Needs more fill on the left and some catch lighting otherwise very lovely.

I think this would be a great shot if the left side had an equal amount of lighting as the right.

I like the lighting a lot. A little grainy in the background and I'd like to see catchlights in the eyes.

Beautiful. the lighting seems slightly imbalanced, as the shadow on the left really takes away from this for me. 7

Beautiful dog. The lighting is good but could use some fill light.

Love the lighting and the colours here, what a truly classic portrait. The black background sets the whole thing off beautifully all I can say is wow!

Lovely reddish visual flow to give off that friendly disposition.

Nice lighting variations on fur.

Very nice. It's a little dark for me, but still a nice shot! Beautiful dog!

wish the left side was brighter ...

Absolutely gorgeous Golden! The lighting is good and the background with shades of brown works very well. The focus looks perfect. I like this border you've done very much. The only thing holding this back from a perfect 10 for me is the lack of catchlights in the eyes. They are both very dark and empty.

How Beautiful! Now, this would have gone well in the "Brown" challenge too! *sigh*

Very nice use of lighting here!

lighting is excellent, but I wish there was a little light in the eyes (well there is some in the right eye)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/13/2006 08:47:05 AM
this is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. as i'm sure others have said, his/her right side needs to be lit more, and this would be perfect. regardless of that though, this is amazing. love it.

Beautiful portrait, love the lighting and the colouring. A ribbon, surely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

lots of noise in dark areas. lighting is bad, his eyes are just dark holes
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I would like to see catchlights in the eyes and the dark shadows on the side of the face, while dramatic, hide details too much here.
