I have looked at this picture several times, and I'm sorry I have not yet commented on it. It is a beautiful picture. Love the black and white. I too thought this was set up to look like he was really looking for a home. Breaks my heart that it is a true expression. Stunning capture.

this is a very moving image with much life to it. you have really made me feel for the dog. i imagine he is hopeful his owner comes for him. the contrast and crop works well. dof is excellent having both the dog and the fence in sharp focus. very nice work

I was really hoping this was a pet set up to look like a adoptee. I was sad to hear it was real. Poor guys. I really applaud your efforts in the cause. GOOD LUCK! Wonderful picture.... I didn't have a chance to vote, but this one really hit the challenge and was a heart yanker.

Congratulations Sue :)

I think the SPCA (as well as the animals)will benefit from a series of pictures from you, you seem to have the nack for capturing animal emotions, as for the series - go do it now!

Hey Sue, congrats on the placement!

I did not vote in the challange, and I don't think I would have scored your photo highly if I did. There's something about caged animals that really get me angry.

But having read more of what you're writtin, I think it's a great idea! This image certainly does send out vibes of hope, and looking at those dogs eyes really make me want to cry, and run and pick it up and take it home.

One of the most powerful photos I've seen on here. Added it to my faves, and good luck if you ever get that camaign off the ground! This photo is a great start.

Thanks to everyone for their wonderful comments and support. A top ten finish.........still can't quite believe it!

This is a subject very dear to my heart ...ultimately want to make a series of images to used for an awareness campaign for the SPCA. With the knowledge I'm gaining here at dpc this is becoming an achieveable goal.

Thanks again
sue
