Here comes the feedback. I've kept it brief as I'm not an expert in pet portraiture.
@kenoh Olaf is a crazy looking dog, with that stare. Very cute though!
@stillcrazyman Duncan is photogenic isn't he! I really like the natural pose here. He's perfectly at rest with you taking his photo unlike my cat who gives me the stink eye every time I try.
@MacRy Bob looks great on the white background and I love the eye contact in this image. He has the look of being a wired bundle of energy ready to spring to action here.
@AlexH A fabulous capture of Ani looking out the window at the world going on by. I like the B&W treatment to this image, it does him respect and show his ageing nicely.
@jkramerbob Tali has a nice, natural and alert pose here. Very nicely captured and no colour balance issues that are so often associated with snow images.
@mrkramer I love the colour contrast of Ziva against the sky and snow, it works really well. Her eyes are a tad soft in focus.
@tcphoto1 I'm a sucker for a Pug and this ones delightful, with such crisp detail and the Pug doing what all Pug's do, being adorable.
@Apple fanboy Good to see a bird image in here. I was hoping someone might have a parrot or the like, but I'll accept a spoggy! Very nice detail and a natural pose to this image, well done.
@mpfuchs This is a fabulous portrait of Kenzo and the B&W treatment suits this image perfectly. Really nice and sharp details too!
@JamesMike Millie looks perfectly at home on your chess board. She's a beautiful looking cat. My only suggestion would be to get down lower and at her level for a more engrossing portrait.
@needfx You have managed to capture the neurotic look that Pugs are known for perfectly in this image! Very cute indeed.
@rx7dude Gord has very interesting looking markings on his face and a very friendly stare, not like my cantankerous cat. I think the image is just a tad too dark. I would have liked to have seen just a bit of information on the right side of Gord's face.
@The Bad Guy Bosley is just too cute and chilled out there! I love that little bit of tongue hanging out. Not what I pictured a Bad Guy's dog to be doing.
@Hughmac This is a great portrait of Sam with Gloria. I love the B&W treatment for such an old dog, it works really well in my eyes. I also like that you got down to his level for this eye to eye image.
@Indydenny MacTavish is very cute with that overbite! I like that you also got down to his level for this image. Really nice, sharp details in this portrait.
@CmdrLaForge I did wonder if anyone would post an image of fish! That's a nice healthy looking aquarium here and you managed to get the fish in focus! Which is harder than it seems.
@tcphoto1 Grizelda is quite the cutie! She looks very playful here with this pose. A nice portrait taken down at her level.
@deep diver Skitty definitely looks like she's annoyed with you being there! A very natural pose and I like seeing a cat in the outdoors, especially in a natural setting like this.
Well folks, now for the hard part, the judging of so many cute and adorable pets!
