This dog is adorable.. I bet he's even sweeter from the front. Shame you didn't have a person in it but the point of the picture would have been lost then, wouldn't it? The missing person, or pet, can make a powerful statement as well. 10
Likes: the familiarity, the emotion, the use of b&w.
Dislikes: the distracting garage and truck out the window, the too-tight crop (would like to see more dog)
I think it would have been better if there were a little more space between the dog's nose and that car outside, but I guess it couldn't be helped. Great work getting the dog to model for you like that. How much do you pay him for a session?
Love it! You've done a marvelous job in capturing the sense of apprehension and eagerness that most dogs endure when their owners are away. The black and white works really well and adds a deserted and companionless mood. There seems to be talk on the boards during this challenge about most images for this challenge being nothing more than emotionless snap-shots. Yet I really do feel this image has proved them all wrong. You've done an excellent job, Good luck with the challenge.
