Welcome

Any comments?

I like the door frame (overexposed effect) I dont think the dog in the foreground compliments this pic.

 

Good attempt though

It's certainly a good exercise in high contrast. I wonder if I'm judging everybody to harshly for having dark areas with no detail were it seems to me it would be useful to have some. Is it because of our limited file size? maggie

Different. Wish he/she had more light in his/her eyes.

I agree with John, a bit more detail in the face would be nice. Perhaps a slight shift left would eliminate the towel (?) on the right, centering the mat at the same time. Yes, this is a high contrast scene and I think you've done well enough. The dog's positioning is perfect but I keep getting hung on the distractions along the right wall. Keep photographing your dogs, it seems like fun and you're quite good at it.
