I've been using blender, my first 3D program, for about 5 days now, and this is my first attempt at using cycles to render. UV mapping the burlap was proving difficult as you can see by the stretching on the head, and shrinking on the ears.
If anyone could give some good criticism to this shot, it would definitely help me out in the future to make much better images, thanks!

Thanks to Jonathan Williamson for his awesome tutorials that got me from knowing nothing about 3D programs to this in 5 days!
Special thanks to Andrew Price of blenderguru.com for expanding my knowledge on cycles and blender even further!
