| This is a great photo. Your conversion to b/w was done really really well. And the sad expression was caught so well. |

| Perfect title. Poor thing. Dogs can be so expressive, can't they? I love the sepia and your use of light and shadow. Great capture. |

| Such a great shot with a lot of feeling but the face of the dog is too dark. This has happened to me on many occassions and it is so disappointing. The photo makes me want to hug this puppy though. |

Hi Gringo,
Just wanted to thank you for your incredible comment on my December submission, Longing! I must have gone through about 10 different versions of that photo before I finally decided on that one. Thanks for the words of encouragement and I'm glad you liked it!

Beautiful! Congratulations. I guess you're going to enjoy the Rebel.
Why "Maddux"? (Reminds me of Greg Maddux, the ex-Cubs pitcher for the Braves). |

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful feedback! I'm so proud of this picture and excited about breaking into the top 20!! Woo hoo!!
By the way, I have to thank my dog Maddux for this! He's one of the most expressive dogs I've ever met and a blast to hang out with!
Thanks Again! |

This is an award winning shot. The subject is simple and to the point. The color is phenomenal; you’ve managed to accentuate the wood grain without distracting from your subject. Incredible detail throughout right down to the vignette border. 10
This belongs in a gallery!

| I believe that pictures of pets or animals are really hard to do because like people portraits you have to make the viewer care about the suject in order for the shot to be effective. My first reaction was "Ohh - poor Pup" - so you got me there. Besides that factor - great framing and I love the two tone approach here for colors. = 9 |

| Probably my favorite shot in this challenge, but I'm a sucker for animals. Sepia tone works well. A bit overexposed in the grassy area. |

| the color scheme you have used makes the dog's expression seem so sad, that and the grain in the boards make me think this would have looked better and been less depressing with more color |

Strong mood, excellent framing and a great capture. The only weak point I see here is the lighting/exposure. I'd think this might make a great reshoot. Try metering for the grass beyond the fence...the portion that is blown out. Stop that down 1, step back a bit and fire off the curtain flash. If this doesn't work, play around with the manual setting until you can get the foreground lite w/o leaving the background so hot. I think you can still get the shadow on the dog's face while still holding on to the dramatic lighting.
Good luck. |

| As someone who can't stand pet/animal pictures with nothing to make them interesting or unique, I love this shot. It has expression to it, and the fence makes for interesting compositional lines as well. Good work. |

| this shot is overexposed in the background on the grass, however despite this technical flaw the shot still pulls off a high emotive quality, the expression, composition and posture of the dog behind the fence make this shot much more than a pet shot. very well done. |
