Very nice shot. I also have a Chessie, and am particularly fond of images of them. All the great comments aside, it really helps to have a great model:)

7 - Nice portrait and lighting. Visually just looks off balance, perhaps at the top. Maybe more width may have given this an edge, not sure.

Good lighting but could use just a touch of fill from the right to define the neck and chest. Great expression.
