		| | The lighting is superb and I love the pastels and the detail on the fur.  Now I'm going to be tempted to tell all my clients to meet me at sunset by the water :-)  I know human portrait photographers try this, but I hadn't thought it would work so well for animals.  Just lovely.  (And BTW, in my experience Bulldogs have AWESOME personalities so it's nice to see one portrayed so well). |

		| | Yes, the lighting, the scene, the dignity and the improbability raise this above the merely good, above the ordinary. (How 'bout some more?) |

		| | This is quite good. I'm not sure why it scored as low as it did. Great shot! |

		| | This is simply gorgeous. A tough fit for a challenge where people were expected by most voters, but a fine, fine pet portrait! |

		| | Thanks for the comments. I wasn't really expecting it to do much. All the 1's was kind of harsh, but live and learn as they say. |

		| | Good for you taking the risk, probably knowing it would take a hit being an animal. Great portrait regardless. Beautiful tones here.

		| | Great picture and great light. It seems voters (10 of them in particular) take portrait in a very restrictive view. |

		| | This is a fine image of a fine animal. It's amazing that fifty blind voters had no clue. |

		| | I havnen't voted many of the pet portraits high, but this one is really good, I like the surroundings included and the light is beautiful. |

		| | This is quite possibly the most stunning image of a pooch I've seen to date. Excellent lighting and scene. |

		| | I like the lines in the plants matching the direction of the dog. I'd have cropped it to position the dog further to the left. |
