James, I totally agree with appreciating the images just as they are. I like these images, especially the moving shots.
I have found that some dog show owners seem to repeat the same things when it comes to giving a critique of photos. When I have shot for "show" people I try to give them what they usually expect and then shoot for myself to try to get a special look. Sometimes what they thought they wanted was not really what they liked the most.
Little things like watching the flowers over the topline on photo 4, may cause the owner not to purchase that shot. By moving slightly to have a clear green grass over the back of the dog may be more pleasing to the owner. (Unless they do not like that feature of the dog and are trying to hide a fault.)
Sort of like being at a beauty pagent and trying to show the best features for their advertising.
