A hungry dog

[priya167]

All feedback is welcome. The photo was taken after dinner when Abby, the dog, was helping us clear the table. I wanted to catch her enthusiasm for food, but I feel that the photo doesn't quite catch it. Are the oranges too distracting?

I think it's (the oranges) fine where they are, however if you did a closer crop of Abby you'd get an entirely different image which would work just as well.

If any of my dog do that here in my house, they'd go to their crates.

It's what they do when we're not around that should concern us.

Mine keeps ordering up On Demand movies. I mean, how many times can you watch Old Yeller?

Sure, blame it on the dog.

The foreground is a bit distracting but you did accomplish capturing the "enthusiasm".

Thanks! I just tried that and cropped it down to just Abby and the oranges, and it looks much cleaner.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad the enthusiasm came through.
