    A beautifully contrasty b&w image. I like the expression on the dog's face.
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

    At first found the legs distracting but when i block them out image loses a bit of bite. Well spotted as usual, this is what you are best at. Do you use a long lens for these shots or just get up close /

    I am sorry, but I just can't see past the scrotum on that dog. I try, but I just can't. It's distracting in this case.

    Almo! that's what i was talking about. It stands out because of all the other places all over the photo where there are two eggs of similar size and shape. That makes it draw your eye to it. That may be something subliminal and might make this a great photo because of it.

    Yoyo you have a knack for capturing "moments" in everyday life and you do it well. I love this pic. Very well executed, interesting shot overall. Love that pooch's face

    Yoyo, that's quite the package on that dog, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed it. I like how you captured the persons legs in the image. I think they add a little to the story that is going on here.

    Re: A City Dog's Viewpoint

    Hi Bobby, I shot this with a 35 mm lens and a film camera. I was really close to the dog.

    Hi Kit, I had the feeling that the dog was not too friendly but I took the shot anyway. Maybe I was lucky not to be attacked by him. Your observation is sharp. I did not notice the similarity between the dog’s and those things on the table.

    Hi Almo, Thanks for your honesty.

    Hi Michael, Thanks for the analysis.
