A sweet Borzoi bitch (in its true meaning) named Isabella, who fortunately belongs to an understanding man who is an artist. He cut a hole in the fence so she can stick her head out and watch the world go by when he's away from home.

LOL - did you appreciate all 27 of those splendid comments as this sweet image was being voted on? And then, later, two more and a favorite!
Well, I hope you had your scores turned off (yeah, sure) because the 5.6653 just doesn't match up. What happened? Having lost my crystal ball some time ago, I don't know.
There is little to 'critique' in this fine image. Before I got to the main subject, as this appeared on my screen I was appreciating the fine detail on the weathered fence, then spotted that amazing expression on the amazing dog, and went Wow! The greenery just finished off the story in an appropriate way.
It was a terrific find and a very good handling of the story-telling process along with the careful post processing details.
This one grabbed me too. I can't see why it didn't get some 9's and a few 10's. More saturation in the green plants would probably have helped DPC wise, but not actually helped the shot for it's honesty, which is the best thing about it to me.
nice shot. I think that it could have been made stronger by some judicial dodge n burning . burn down the bright greens in the foreground and dodge Isabella a bit. IMO.
