| Very nice portrait. I had a minature dachshound, but she passed away this past winter. This shot reminds me of her = ) |

| I love the focus on the dog's face - it pulls you into the picture. - 8 - |

Interresting use of shallow DOF here. Makes the weiner dog look even longer somehow! Nice lighting, but the catch light in the eyes is a little too much. Nicely done pet portrait!

Sorry, not a person, but:
Lighting: Well lit with an expressive catchlight.
Pose: Works well for the subject.
Background: cluttered, the lines cutting through the model, particularly at the head are disstractive. |

| Lighting, focus, angle are all pretty good. At first I found the blurred line in the background (counter's edge?) a distraction and thought it would look better with a smooth gradient, but since it's right on a line with the eyes I guess it may also serve to draw the attention there ... it would be interesting to try evening out the BG to see how it looks. |

| Nobody said a portrait had to be of a human! Nicely done, but doesn't have a studio feel because of the sofa in the background. A 6, would be an 8 or 9 with a better background. |

| I don't think it's a studio portrait of a person. Interesting image though. |

| As good as this portrait is, I can't award you full credit due to the fact that the instructions specifically stated to shoot a portrait of a person. Sorry! :o) |

| Ahh, a person in dog's clothing! That aside, I think the fore-paws need to be in the picture--perhaps a less limited depth of field. And I don't think the baseboard hides enough for me to get the "studio" feel asked for in the challenge. |

you've captured a very sweet expression on her face. Lovely focus and colours on her head. For a portrait I would have liked it if her face had filled more of the frame, also find the line on the background behind her head a little distracting.

| Good use of DOF. Background is a little busy (though the blurring helps.) |

| SO cute. there nothing wrong with portraits of doggies, and this is especially well done. i love that his face is so sharp, and the background less well-defined - gives a conception of real depth. not entirelt sure you've conveyed a taken-in-the-studio type shot, but in all, very nice. also, perhaps a smidgeon too much couch is visible at the top (slightly tighter crop needed). still, a cute and characterful shot. 7. |

| nice sharp focus on the face...I tried to photograph a dog of this breed, and I found it difficult......the head kept looking distorted compared to the rest of the long short body...I like the angle and your approach here |

| This is a very good demonstration of depth of field! The focus on the dog's face enhances the "What's that over there?" look in his eyes. |

| A beautiful cat in nice lighting. Focus on the eyes is perfect. (If you can call a dog a person, I can call it a cat.) |

| Funny looking "person"! Cute dog, though. I dunno, I wish the DOF was greater. But I will admit, that's a killer facial expression! |

| Sorry I don't consider dogs to be persons. Nice shot though, I like the shallow DOF |

| Maybe with a bit more DOF it would have rated higher |

Lower half of image distracts. If he/she was sitting, then lower could be cropped effectively.
Unfortunately, challenge calls for a portrait of a person. |

| This little fellow is the cutest of the entire entry, however, I would included his feet by encreasing the dof. |

| His (her?) head is beautiful in focus and the eyes are very telling. Too bad that the body is very much out of focus. I would have liked a deeper DOF, or a different crop from just the head. |

| Despite the fact that the challenge clearly stated the photo should be of a person, I think this is a great shot. The lighting is very nice and the catchlights in his/her eyes are wonderful. I do think that his/her whole body should have been in focus instead of just the head. Had the subject only been a person, I would have scored much higher. |

| Love your picture, I can tell this doggie loves you. I can see it in the eyes. Great shot and I won't slam you for not being a person because I believe he is part of a family and therefore this is a family member portrait. 10 |

| You're going to get nailed because it's "not a person" and therefore, "Doesn't meet the challenge" comments. Well, you know what I say to that? "PTHLBTHLBTHLBTHLB!" This baby is adorable and is just as human, if not more than most people I know! I love the expressive eyes but the DOF hurts this shot to me. I know they are long dogs (I have one myself) but they aren't that LONG, LOL! Excellent capture, an 8 |

| I'm sure you've had everyone quoting directly from the challenge description noting the word..."Person" .....so I'm sure you'll understand why I must vote you low even though it's a nice portrait of a nice doggy. |

| Great dog portrait, not sure if people will like it because it isn't a human, but its a great shot of a dog. Great DOF/focus, good lighting. Could be a bit bigger, but no issue. Nice job. |
