Superb colors and textures. What a nice feel. Too bad the grassy vegetation at the bottom seems crooked, but your horizon was the priority. Something about this image makes me want to come back again and again to identify just what that certain "something" is, so I can make use of it in my own shots. After the challenge, I look forward to seeing anything you may have said about your capture or post-processing. One of my favorites of the challenge.

I think that this is lovely, but I wonder what it would look like with the foreground cropped away.

Comment by nfessel:
Amazing exposure. The tones on the dog are great.

I do, however, notice some weirdness in this image. The pose is very unnatural, considering that he is "climbing out of a ditch". Also, I notice some editing done (cloning?) below the left leg, by his belly. Kinda weird looking. At first glance, it looks awesome, but then the pose and the entire image appears strange.

The dog has been swallowed by the grass.

Perhaps cropping out up to the top of the trees on the right? I think there is too much sky. I like the colors and the content. Good shot.

You oversharpened this image in post. Very grainy and gritty. If you had ran Neat Image or just did less with the sharpening, it could have been decent. At least the lighting is pleasant

This image looks very over-processed in a way I can't quite place my finger on. Too much USM perhaps?
