This is Mandy my female Pekingese. I thought this picture showed the pesonality of the the pekingese which is bold,
with courage, dignity, boldness and self-esteem rather than daintiness or delicacy. Cropped and adjusted color though channels in PS CS2.

I would have loved to see the front view that would show this beautiful dog's face and possibly show some emotion such as a 'happy' smile or sad eyed face. Here, the composition shows us the back view of the dog which does little to hold interest for the viewer because it lacks the emotion or visual interest that one can typically show with a facial portrait. If you capture an animal from a back view there has to be some dynamic action present like the dog jumping to catch a ball in mid-air or the dog avidly watching a soccer ball getting kicked by a soccer player. Including a dynamic action would have some interest to the shot. But as the composition stands now, all we see is the backside of a dog looking at a fence. What it may be looking at, we don't know. What it's face might look like, we don't know. What emotion is on the dog's face (happy, sad, or curious), we don't know. Don't show the viewer less of the main subject show us more.
