Whoa....kind of a sobering image after all these happy shots. Very good, albeit slightly disturbing. Great processing and choice of format. 8

Seems like an awfully short chain?! This is a great B&W.

The b/w has certainly helped transform this picture and the chain seems to add a sad note, which makes me wonder what it would be like without it.

Is this your dog? I really hope not, I'm no PETA fanatic but I certainly don't like seeing a dog being chained up with her pups to care for.

That being said, this is a wonderful shot! I understand that art/photography isn't always beautiful and picture perfect and this is a very powerful image. I love the xpression on her face and the composition is perfect. Well done on the shot!

If it is your dog, please take it inside, or atleast give it a collar that fits and use a rope or yard tie instead of a heavy chain to tie her up. I'm sure she's tired enough with about 4 pups to raise......
