Basic rule, turn off your date stamp. Besides identifying the shot outside the challenge date range it is very aesthetically displeasing. Otherwise it's a good shot. I was thinking it was a white wolf at first glance until I saw the collar.
nice composition. the dog is a little to dark being the main focus and the highlights look blown out. the date is quite distracting, and i think that it is wrong...otherwise this is an old photo.
wow, not sure what to say here, except that first you took this outside of the challenge dates, considering it says august 24th on your picture, hmmmm...
