Cute dog, but not a good portrait.
Cropping just the tail out wasn't good.
The b&w conversion is good, but the coloured frame really draws your attention away from the dog to the frame.
Exposure is food, and nice that you have got down to the eye level of the dog. |

| I like the eyes and the facial expression. I'm not crazy about the border, maybe black instead of red? Good details and sharpness on the shot. |

| Great pose captured in this photo! The hunched over look and over the shoulder glance makes this poor doggie look like he is sheepishly asking the question but expecting to be rejected. The pose just fits the title wonderfully. With technicals the black coat of the dog contrasts wonderfully with the white snowy backdrop. I have marked this is an above average shot but there are a few things that could be improved that would move it into the exceptional category. First, while you have an exceptionally emotive pose, the tongue hanging out on the dog conflicts with the sheepish expecting to be rejected idea (the tongue out makes me think he/she is telling us neener-neener). Now yes, animals rarely stay still and he/she might have stuck the tongue out JUST as you snapped the photo. Sometimes is is best to take a quick burst of photos in quick succession to counter something like this from happening (I don't know if your camera has that option but if you do, you might want to take advantage of it in the future expecially with action shots) My next point, nothing major, but it would be nice if you had captured the full body of the dog with it's tail. I like the catchlight/twinkle seen in the right eye and there is certainly a nice sheen on portions of the coat but on the top portion of the body a shadow is blocking the light from illuminating the fur. I don't know if there was a way or opportunity to 'remove' whatever was blocking the light but if the sheen that is on the lower half of the dog's body continued up to the top half you would have a more dynamic shades of black rather than the flat black and thus add more visual appeal to this portrait. Lastly, the chocolate brown border is not complementry to the scene captured. It justs adds another color that competes with the black and white tones for the viewer's attention. |

| I sure wish the tail wasn't cut off. The toungue gets lost in the snow. Didn't see it at first. |
