The tail, ears and head are all quite good, it's probably just the front leg alignment keeping you from placing. I don't know much about posing huskies so there's not much else I can say to help...

Well, with huskies, you need to judge the pose by their ankles, since they have skinny legs, it's really quite hard to get a perfect leg alignment, therefor you judge by their ankles. So Apache's ankles are fine, but I think there are two reasons why he might not be placing.
1. His body is on a slight angle, but that shouldn't be too hard to overcome by the rest of his pose.
2. Well, I entered my champion shower in a competition here, and she lost to a dog that had horrible alignment. So sometimes the judging around here isn't exactly fair, in my opinion anyway. But this might just be me.

The competition is quite tough at RKC though. They have a lot of members who spend a *lot* of time posing their petz, so don't get too down if you don't place over there for a good while

I think his chest is shifted toward the camera and is not inline with the rest of his body.

Well, this and my Aussie, Murk, have been switching back and forth for HM, and 3rd, maybe a few higher...I just don't have the will to try again so soon...well...there's always getting Legend through HM's.  |

It's the front alignment. You can clearly see the back front leg peeking out infront of the leg closest to the screen and that's why it's not placing very well. Improve the alignment and it should do better.
But most of the judges here are inexperienced and therefore don't know too much about judging shows. I might run a few shows since I never really do but know a lot about alignment. xD
