Fabulous concept! Amazing that you got all four to sit, stay and look at you. Wonderfully minimalist image with just the chaise and nothing else around. Smacks of William Wegman...

IMO, it needs just a bit more light on the front of the couch. OMM, the shadow underneath is blending right into the couch itself and the bottom edge of the couch is too undefined. The camera left side of the smallest dog on the right is also lost in shadow to a large extent.

I love this concept, and it's very well executed.

I'm wondering though, how in the world did you get them to pose properly and sit still next to each other. Or, is this like a combo of 4 photos, one with each pet. :lol:

Haha it is a combo of 4 images. Getting a single one to sit still and look towards the camera is a task in itself! Also considering the dog to the right of the cat would be chasing it.

Thanks for the comments! I will dodge the chaise and left side of the dog a little

Hah, I knew it had to be something like that. It'd be impossible to do it as one photo.

Great shot nonetheless!

Thats fantastic! Very elegant, Victorian or something!
Reminds me of a gas advert on TV a while ago with dog, cat, and mouse, all snuggling up to each other.
