Hey 2K, that looks like a dog with attitude! IMHO this pic looks very sharp. Didn't notice the two fingers on dogs chest until i scrutinized the pic closer. My attention went straight to the dogs' face. Well done.

En, I think this is a very neat pic!! I absolutely love the pose/expression of the dog  ,,What I think is this..it seems as though the dog has the same ummm, sorry sometimes I struggle with the tech. terms...so how do I say this.?? hmmm...lighting is very even throughout the whole pic,,so it is hard to distinguish any depth here. I felt bkrnd should be a little darker to highlight the subject,,or of course more/brighter light on the subject...However , the fingers....lol I have to say they are camoflaged extremely well!! They look like the natural curve/contour of this area which is usually there!! Brightening the subject would of course probably bring these more to light so to speak!! Perhaps you could put a bit a brighter "warmth" on the subject? as the bkrnd is very blue (beautiful tone btw)...Something which make the white "pop"...?..as I think the cool color of the bkrnd gets carried throughout the subject...but that is my humble/not so experienced in editing opinion  .!

2k,
i love the composition... nice diagonal line created bi the dog...
i thought the dog a tad dark... especially the eyes... and a warmer light can help with this... i took the liberty of doing a bit of editing.... levels, greens and reds brightened... and local brightening of the eyes....

Well, you see, the look I was going for was that the animal was actually in the scene. Making the background and the dog too different would have made it too obvious that it was a background replacement. I blurred the background to separate them and make the image look like it had depth.
As far as the fingers, this dog is quite hyperactive and the only way to get his to sit still was to have my brother hold him. I am certain that with enough time I could edit the fingers out. I did this pretty quickly last night. Looking at it this morning, I actually see that it looks darker than it did when editing. I wish I could figure something out that would allow me to edit at night and have the image look the same the next day!!! ARGH! I usually don't have a lot of time in the day to edit pics.

Daniel,
Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, your version looks horrible on my monitor. Probably not your fault I am sure. The main reason I did this was to test once again my monitor calibration and color correction for sRGB PC-gamma 2.2
I use a CRT monitor and I know that most people these days use LCD. I have been told that CRT is better for photography/editing. It's actually weird. There are a couple of images I have posted here that are getting low scores that on other sites are getting higher score 1 to 1.5 higher. I can't figure out the reason for it.
Anyway, in your version, the pic is way too light and contrast is no good. The color of the dog doesn't look anything like that actual dog. Too red and too light. I am wondering if you are on Mac or PC and if you calibrate?
Thanks

Way dark on my screen.
Sky over-saturated.
Dog has slight halo effect around edges.
I used Katrin Eissann's Fill Flash PS action
on this at almost 100% opacity, which is very
unusual to be required, and then some curve and saturation adjustments.
Not totally pleased with the result but its definitely
better than it was, in my view anyway.

Hey ya'all,,how very interesting ... I think DB's looks very nice, but there is just still something umm oh I am not sure.., the light on NIki's is also nice but too much on the bkrnd..I dont see any halo's around the eyes though.. The colors I think just look a little ummm "Thick",,is this possible or is there another proper term for that?? lol sorry ....It is like this is printed on a very thick very smooth and glossy paper....you know what I am saying? Okay so I just wanted to give my two cents on what I am seeing with these three samples and in a nutshell.. We are all definately not seeing the same things I dont think
