Shiloh is a beautiful golden boy! You have photographed him very well with good detail to show his silky fur and great details in his face, I love his eyes! He's really got a hold of that green apple and I can see bits of grass stuck to it too! Very well presented!

Finest artist notes I read in a while.

The camera technique is of high quality. I see excellent detail and fine focusing on all of the visible parts of this fine dog. The eyes are well shown and sharp. There is a catch light and, I think your reflection in each eye - Like it.

The composition is well framed with fine placement of the central subject. This presentation has good initial visual impact.

Colors and tonal range are near monochrome. Visual color range is harmonious and does clash.

The one recommendation I would offer is get a lower angle on the subject, one knee down will do it. The dog will follow you with its head. As you kneel its head will drop to eye level. This brings the eyes level, and keeps the catch light but losses your reflection. also the ears will fall forward and away making the features of its face stand out - impact.

Everything else about this take is fine and will do well in the contest.

Good Luck ... B-)) Bob

Amusing endearing notes...

A cute & candid capture!!
An interesting initial impact.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Sharply focused.
Fine facial features & smooth textures.

Compact framing.
Subdued lighting.
Diffused focusing.

Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...

Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...

He says he a good boy and ready for his Scooby snack now. Wink. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this cute dog and his ball is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

And a grand looking dog he is too! The light of life clearly shines through his eyes!! Your image benefits from a good composition, it's sharp and well exposed. Well done and good luck!
