    I think the image is just a little too dark and cropped too tightly vertically for my taste.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Poor puppy, I would look sad too if my world seemed so flat and grey. Since you have asked for adjustments I have done a few.

    -Overall Contrast Adjustment
    -Selected the eyes and lightened
    -Levels adjustment to brighten the scene
    -Crop for balance

    You have some nice bokeh going on in the background that blends well with the fuzziness of the dog. Next time you might take advantage of that by composing vertically instead of head on with a horizontal frame which might make the composition feel less awkward.
