This is another of your special touch photos. The mix of horizontal and vertical lines, with the frame, and broken by the main subject, all in low key color tones. Just good photography overall.
lol lisa .. i love this shot .. stuff left unsaid and stuff that i can make up for myself ..
that dog looks beautiful .. and i havent even seen the front end .. lol ..!! .. :)
Your photo, on it's own, is a perfect 10. For this challenge, to me, it's not. The emotion is there and your title helps feel that but the abstractedness is not abstract enough as I see it. It is a GREAT photo though!
