This is my first post and I'm looking forward to what you all think...good or bad. My husband likes the one of just his face better, but I like the other one. What do you think, and what could I do better? =)
The first has nice colours and shows some of the dog's action, but with the plant and the background it is a bit busy, which takes away from the dog.
This does not happen in the second, which I why I go with your husband and say I like that one better. Scene, framing, expression, and DOF all perfect.
