I feel like the bride and groom will be along any minute... this must be the flower-dog ;-) I love how his/her face matches the color of the fallen leaves.
Lovely shot! I like the setting and framing the dog with the arbor and the DOF. I might have straightened the horizon a bit more with a centered shot like this (could be a perception thing if the garden is sloped); actually, I have to straighten many of my shots. I must look at the world crookedly half the time ;-)
