Hi Michael,
This is a great idea for a series, and this is a nice example, made very strong by the beautiful sky and the silhouettes set against it. I like the soft approach too... it works very well with the fur. What works less for me though is the inclusion of so much of the rocks (I think I know where this picture was taken :P). For me it makes the image "bottom-heavy" as it were, and makes the composition somewhat less pleasing than it could be. My choice might have been to crop (or better yet frame) so that only a small portion of the rocks is visible. I also might have chosen to crop/frame to subract some of the negative space from the left. This might have placed both the dog and its owner closer to the coveted thirds of the image. This could of course just be a matter of taste; it depends on the impact this image has on the individual. Overall nicely done, and I look forward to more from this series. |
