doesnt look too dark on my monitor ..
its such an excellent shot of a dog so incredibly intent ..
far out breaking the windows .. surprised he's not got scares all over him ..
i'd take my hat off to you if i wore one for looking to adopt more of these gigantic and loveable creatures .. :)
I love the intense gaze. Was it the squirrels that drove him to break the windows? I hope you get hold of another rotti. I think your intention to adopt a senior is very kind. I often see older dogs advertised in the paper, usually through the animal shelter, and I always wonder whether anyone offers them homes.
This photo shows a dog waiting patiently for his owner. I think that the emotion of the moment was captured well. I do however feel that the main focus seems to be the dog and not the window. Seeing that the camera was set in auto-mode, it did the best it could to expose properly for the brightness outside the window and the dark inside. The focus seem a little soft, not enough to lower the score as if it was too sharp I think that would destract from the emotive aspect of your shot. A slight Unmask Sharpen may have improved on the sharpness.
This as you know, would have been perfect for the cliche' competition! You have a good looking dog, and have shown a side of his personality not normally seen.
This is one of the best pet pictures I've seen on this sight. I'm partial to Rot's too. The chin resting on the windowsill is the best. The curtain is a slight distraction but only slight. The look on the dogs face is enough for me to give this a 10. But it is a biased 10 mind you. So if you think it isn't fair, PM me and I'll knock it down to an 8 based solely on picture quality. Great Pic!! - Inspzil
The dog in the window never fails. It tells a story, creates emotion, and gives the picture a 3 dementional look. Many of my students have used this theme for their work. The picture taken from the outside can mean the dog is waiting for you and creates a very desireable image. Nice job, (8) John Gill
I would have preferred to see the window as the subject, not the dog. He/she is adorable, but I think I would have opted for a shot taken from outside, showing the window, with the dog looking out.
