He may look like a very sad confined dog. In reality he was a vicious watchdog guarding a luxury home under construction that barked relentlessly as I walked by.
I was very relieved that there was an iron gate separating us!

Bella, I think this would have done better if the image had more tonal range. I know that is not always easy to capture with snow on the ground, but we expect a dog's nose to be darker. Your unplugged was high key and also lacked a full tonal range, but with that picture it looked intended and it worked well. Great photo anyway.
while technicaly a decent photo I feel that this is just not a very exciting shot. It apears to be another shot of another dog taken from the same focus on the nose angle. (not intending to sound rude). I don't mind pet shots I would just like to see them done from different angles. I will acnowledge however that the shot fits the challenge and is technicaly a good shot.
The image diffinitely evokes some fear and meets the challenge well. I think the use of Sepia helps to sharpen the dog's face. I like this shot. Good luck.
