the angle of the street works well, I think it would've been better with the sticks cropped out of the top

one of the better dog photos...at least your dog appears to be looking at something...good composition...maybe could have edited out the leash

There is too much empty space around your dog. to make this an interesting photo. Consider taking the photo much closer to add interest.

Excellent shot. Maybe too centered. I would have liked to have seen a different angle that included part of the dogs face.

I really like how the leash leading to the right and the dog looking straight ahead create two points of interest off-screen. It's such a calm picture but there's clearly conflict. :) Technically, it's not very interesting, but I rated it high because I really am curious what is off-screen in two directions!

Good theme interpretation. Too bad the leash is in the shot. It is a disctraction. But you know the dog is looking at a squirrel or something.

Nice perspective. I wish the dog were centered, though, instead of just barely off. The contrast is a little flat.

i like the idea but i would like to see you come in closer to elminate the mundane street and grass. This would be nice in black and white with the contrast levels upped a bit.

More colorsaturation maybe or how would B/W with more contrast look like? Cant say it fires up my imagination about whats happening of-screen.

Quite a fresh idea here in this image..but for me the angle of view needs altered to make the effect stronger.
The dog is your subject and I would have preferred to see it fill most of the frame and probably taken from the left side and a little to the rear. This would have eliminated all the unnecessary clutter but kept the interesting angle of view. A shallow depth of field would help too.
Hope this is helpful.

good focus but uninteresting

Sorry, but there isn't much "off screen expectation". Maybe a view of the side of the dogs head with a focused glance on his/her face would better convey the message. The colors are pretty bland as well. I think the dog could have made a good subject, but the presentation here is lacking.

nice picture. after the challenge, you may want to consider cloning aut the leash, or whatever it is.
