My puppy is back to show his photogenic self (and two snow pictures):










I tried creating more negative space; no flash was used in these pictures.

Try to make a space between your pictures, just to make it a lil easier for the eye.
And another tip: pet photos got to be very special to attract comments, try taking them from the dogs level instead of from above.
The only photo of decent quality is the last imo.

:[ I got some critique if you don't mind :/

pics 1,2 have a different color cast then 3,4,5,6. You should tweak the white balance on the last few pics.

Alot of your pics are blurry and out of focus, such as 1,4, and 6. Try opening up your aperature or increase the shutter speed to minimize camera shake. Use the shutter rule of thumb. 1/focal length. If you're using a crop sensor, multiply your focal length by the multiplier such as 1.5 or 1.6 etc. So for 100mm, use a shutter speed of 1/160+

Pic #1 is also over exposed. Try minus exposure compensation on it. -2/3 stops seems appropriate for that scene.

Lastly for pic #4, there are alot of distracting elements in the photo, try cropping tighter or remove the elements from the scene.

Edit: Hest is also right, try taking the picture at a level we're not used to, like from the dog's eye level instead of ours.

I wish that was as easy as said. I mean I know about the dog level, but my dog will not stop moving! haha. I guess I forgot to upload one of them that was my fav, but oh well.
Critique is always nice, you learn from your mistakes.

real quick, i'm going to sound soooooo stupid, but what does it mean when something is over/under exposed.

Over-exposed means that the shot is "way too bright" Causing objects to lose details. Under-exposed is the exact opposite, it means the photo is too dark.

Heres a great example by SLRphotographyGuide.com
