Hi Janet,

I've got to agree, it's a great pose!

- Really nice job on the hands. . . the one on the dog especially. You might want to check the light across his knuckles and index finger on the hand on his knee... should it come around towards us a little more?

- On his face...there's a light patch on his chin and his upper lip that reads a bit too brightly?

- The perspective on the steps, especially at the top, seems off. I think we are looking at him from just about the level of that top step/porch? maybe a smidge higher? So we shouldn't be seeing so much of that upper surface there.

- shadow below his arm on the steps is confusing.

- I agree with Alex that the planter on the right is confusing (there's a perspective skew there too. . .) -- like the idea of extending the foliage and including window/reflection. . .
