Looks good to me Pete! I like portraits nice and big, but if I could say anything you've maybe left a little too much on the bottom, which makes me want to see his front feet which are missing!, but thats just me!

Nice shot.

I agree with Tim, either include the feet or crop a bit more. I'd say crop to where the legs appear to merge together. A lovely portrait.

I agrre too with the comments, and I personally would prefer it a tiny bit darker. Nice portrait though.

Also agree with the cropping suggestion after scrolling it up and down in the browser for a while! But cracking eyes and also like the hole in its ear which gives the portrait that extra character for me :smile:

Wonderfull Shot. Agree about the cropping suggestions.

Absolutely beautiful IMO. Superb BG and a face full of character. I like it as is, and if I was going to darken, I would not go too mad.

Additional cropping or not this is a fantastic portrait I love the expression.

Thanks for all the replies. There seems to be a clear majority in favour of cropping some off the bottom. Also John, point taken about darkening it a bit. All critique gratefully received
