Very nice, I like the sharpness of the image. Those dirty fingernails really sets this apart, nice work.

I like the simple setting which focuses the viewer on just the subject, who is displayed fully upright in classic pose. Good catchlight. The sharpening seems a bit too much, the fur looks slightly coarse and has lost that natural softness. Fine lighting.

Tom, very nice pose, DOF and detail in this photo. You seem to have interrupted his home building!

Technically very well executed Tom. Interesting pose as well. I would have preferred a postioning a bit more to the left to give the dog some space to look into and create a bit more balanced composition.

I love the pose with those dirty paws. I like the angle of the ground under his feet. Agree with Gary that it looks a bit oversharpened to me.

Great capture! Ditto on Vincent's comment about giving some space on the right, but no biggie!
I like this shot a lot!
