This deserved a ribbon. Absolutely GORGEOUS. You should make this available as a print.

I'm going through and voting on all the other pictures just so i can give this one a high score. It definitely meets the challenge and, even better, the rule of thirds is essential to the beauty of this photograph--many of the other pics could've been taken in any old way. My only quibble is that the sky is a bit grainy, but who cares??? 10.

this has a real classic feel to it. You should have called it "Ansel Adams' first dog" ;)

Brave choice to submit this in B&W as I am sure this is a very colorful shot. I don't care much for the dog looking to the short side of the frame but it still works. 7

Good job on this one. It works really well in b&w

This is nice. I like the background with the nice moody skies. The texture in the foreground with the dried out dirt is interesting. The dog is positioned well for this composition and appears to be in focus. What I do find distracting is the image seems flat and in need of more contrast (could be this monitor) and while the B/W theme is good, the range is short (not a true black or true white). Overall, job well done. Good luck in the challenge.

Ok. I took another peek using my home PC, which is properly calibrated...the range in this image looks MUCH better here. ;^) I wonder if I can get my boss to spring for a new monitor at work? Hmmm...she might wonder why, then what do I say? He-he.
