My dog Ella

Nice colours. Esp. the eyes. But she doesn't seem to be too happy with you.

It could be great, but the crop of the lower edge just doesn't cut it, if I dare say.

I love the shallow depth of field. You are drawn to the eyes, and how expressive they are! The background is not too distracting, though I wonder what that whiteish line by his right forepaw is? The composition is well done for the most part, but with the serious flaw that the dogs nose is trimmed off. Really, this could have been done better as a vertical (portrait) shot.

the cropped nose of the dog disturbs me, because it has nowhere to go.

PHOTOGRAPHER: This is my error, the neg has the nose in it it (3/5 print), I did not scan this from neg as most of my scans. But I thank you for the comments.

This picture is what a photo should be. Makes you focus and think. Well done.

 

Ps. Dont mind the nose, the eyes keep me from looking anywhere else
