Cute guy there. Looks like he was having fun in the grass.
What happened to his tounge Kyle ? I hope it is not something serious. Grass frames him nicely
Thanks for the comments. He's just got a big tounge, Binnur. It was hot out that day so he was panting a lot.
Nice shot Kyle; if I might suggest one minor tweak?
Crop that tiny uneven band at the top; that would simplify the background and take out a small distraction that keeps drawing my eyes away from the subject. If you want to preserve the aspect ratio of the shot, cropping the left side of the frame a bit wouldn't hurt either.
Very cool shot! Great job!
Wonderful expression - he is saying he adores you for going out with him, I think. Anyway, very happy.
Kyle, your edit is much better. Handsome dog. I think the Golden's personality is the best one out there and it shines through in your pic. Good pic, good doggie!
I agree with Jack, Kyle. The crop improves the image. Also, the horizon on the original was slanted. I'm sure this was not on a slope :-) Be conscious of your framing. I know I make those "errors" myself. Maybe next time, frame him closer to the left frame while observing the rule of thirds. Just my two cents :-) Cheers.
