Awesome picture! Very crisp and clean looking. I know you aren't looking for C&C but if your dog was positioned in a different part of the photo...like more to the right and a bit higher it would be a little more dynamic. Overall lovely shot though!
Cute pooch. I was thinking along the same lines as Joanna. Your avatar says it's OK and I hope you don't mind, but a 10 second crop on each.
landscape
portrait
Basically trying to say to get the subject off center and remove some of the dead space. The dog is looking left, so more space should be in that direction.
Let me know by PM if you wish to have them removed.
i have no problem with people editing my photos, i love to see other peoples take on things.
the landscape crop is definitely much better! im going to crop the original now. I should know better than to keep my subject in the middle of my photos by now.
