This would have been a cute shot if it has a little more space by the nose and the ears. In short, the crop is too tight...
Not by much though! Great image... Great looking dog.
This "nose perspective" with wide angle distortion is a recurring theme in affectionate portrayals of dogs and I don't know why but it appeals to me at some gut level and I think it's because I'm a dog lover. I think it extracts something of the intimacy of dog contact but would not be surprised if it just looks silly to folks who don't have the dog gene.
You take what you can get with an active pet, looks good.
It was not cropped . I was laying on the floor with him I guess was just to close ?
I immediately started to smile when I opened this image... It is a very happy shot!
