i cant picture anything more desolate than this, how sad, and unfortunate , the dog house if you can call it that is horribly uncomfortable for this short haired dog, what a desolate way to live.
you captured this very well including the long nails that desperatly need a trim.
amazing expressiveness of the dog, whose plight is accentuated by your camera angle and tortured by the twistings of the chain. The hole in the can is frighteningly ominous. 9.
I already voted a while ago, now I'm back for commenting. I gave this picture a 10. I think it conveys the meaning well. Made me quite depressed to tell the truth. I just hope this was a setup shot for the dogs sake. I rescued a dog who lived like this for 5 years, only his chain was only 3 feet long.
good capture and like the expression of the dog, and the literal use of the title is good. I would have maybe gone with a different duotone choice or black and white, it is alittle too purple. I dont feel desolation without the title, but since the description of the challenge is what it means to you I am not judging on those grounds, just my thoughts
This is so sad I could cry. I hope he's just posing for this shot. It's a beautiful dog. The duotone works to bring out the depressing feeling of this image, but I'm not sure the blue tint works for me. Your angle, looking down on this poor dog, adds to the strong emotion I feel when looking at this (that is, it works).
