Not sure

I took this photo over the weekend and I liked the composition of the photo but something just seems off to me. What do you think?

Just a personal opinion but I think if its about the dog and his world, the single leg is out of place. In my opinion body parts without a body hit me like nails on a blackboard. I would have cloned it out.

I desagree, I like the leg, Although what I find lacking is more sharpness everything is too soft, wich I don't find ok because of the contrast

yep why they make horse races...

i like the leg. i think the dog looks blurry though

Well the odds on the horse without legs just got longer.

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are two legs in there, maybe burn one out into the visible spectrum. But I do agree with mystery, the floating limb is somewhat awkward.<--- how do you spell that?

Off topic, but how many viewers check out art books and classic photography.
Sheesh.

I haven't read one in years but i used to read them religiously. er er that was back in the day lol

Well thanks for all your comments everyone. I burned out the other leg a bit and ran an USM over the image and I think it really helped! I knew that someone would figure out what it needed! Great Job!! :thumbup:

**elsaspset, thank you for your compliment. I so much admire your work so it means a lot coming from you!

Much better...

I was just telling you my truth. What you did, IMHO was absolutely brilliant. I want something like this in my house!
And hey, no worries. I'm a nobody!
Fantastic Job!!!!!

Honestly... I'm not a fan on the legs in the picture however, I'm also a person who doesn't really like to take way or add anything to the picture so if it was in there to begin with, so unfortunately, I think it should stay. The last one is the one I like the best, but the legs do discract from the picture. I find myself looking at the legs and not at the dog and the bowl (which I believe was the focus of this picture).

i actually like the legs AS the main focal point. especially with the dog off to the side and pointing towards the outside of the photo. but the legs give it a sense of suprise? anticipation? movement? looks like he's stepping into the room. but i can't think of the right adjective...
