Hi Jake,

I certainly love the impressively pugnacious fellow, but why the wire fence and huge size?? If you use a longer lens wide open, the fence can disappear if the dog isn't too close. Or do you like the wire fence?

What is the thinking behind the picture: fun memento snap for your family or for what? I ask this so one can frame feedback. It's hard otherwise to say more than it's great fun!

Well fun it is, then Jake!

Is the dog too dangerous to approach without the wire or is that part of the composition? Watch out for the over exposure of the white areas. Don't be afraid to under-expose slightly or else use RAW and then recover the highlights. You don't want the pooch to look like it's bathed in a spotlight!!! Do you work in RAW?

Asher
 
Yes I shoot in raw. They have 3 puggles and they are outdoor dogs. The fence is just so they don't run off!

I seem to get the feeling of motion when I look at it or at least her head seems to tilt. Maybe its the bigger new monitor.
 
Jake the colors are excellent. Is she sad?

Regards.

thank you
I really liked how her eyes came out too.

I don't think so. These are some of the best fed dogs I've encountered. Chicken wings, ribs, fish, eggs, rice. Whatever my in-laws eat, the dogs eat.

These are outdoor dogs and in the winter season(Warroad Minnesota) my mother in-law lights a campfire for them everynight! They even have a spaceheater inside their doghouse which has 5 small rooms!

I love that puggle Jack, such beautiful eyes. I think that the fence adds to the picture by nicely partitioning the image into sub areas. The positioning is quite ideal, dividing the dog's face into symmetrical parts. The slant, which follows the tilt of the dog's head, gives a feeling of dynamism. Well done.
 
A curiousity from Australia is that puggle is the standard name for a baby echidna. The puggle has no sharp spines like the adult so it fits comfortably into its mothers pouch. All puggles, whatever the species, are unfailingly cute.
