Interesting. Angular lines here, driving my eye through the image in a "z" shape, in at the upper left, out at the lower right. I like the green space on the upper right, too.

This is fantastic on SO many levels.

Her stare is really challenging. Then the situation with her friend checking herself out and don't even get me started on the condom dispencing machine - 10! SMILE!

Captivating glance - disaffected and confrontational. There's quite a lot of meaning here about the tension and passage between childhood and adulthood - all the elements in the composition contribute to it.

Nicely seen, especially in the echoing of cross cones/crossed feet. And just when I thought I'm finished with viewing it, I see the profile of a face in the lower left.

Definitely a multipurpose room - the dogs even seem slightly ill at ease. The unusual jumble works, though - makes you stop and wonder about it.

Comment by krnodil:
Looks a bit like a realistic painting - has a sadness to it. Somewhat bleak view, bleakly viewed through a window pane design suggestive of prison bars. I like that you can see some part of the sill at the bottom, that it isn't completely obscured in shadow.

I really love the unrelatedness of this whole scene! A wonderful image to view and ponder... : )

you almost got it right :). But the actual names of these beautiful Russian wolfhounds (borzoi, in Russian) are Bala (after Balakirev) and Anya (presumably, after Anna Kerenina?).

Wonderful collection of stuff -- none of it seems to be related. I can look at this for a long time. The light on the white dog is fantastic. Nice processing, too.
