Whoa! He looks fierce! What a capture! But somehow, I have a feeling he is a big softie on the inside once you get that look off his face :)

Comment by TygerPawz:
I like the brightness of the spood compared to the background, it draws my attention to what is in the spoon rather than the spoon itself.

Second thought: Maybe the front shoreline exiting at the corner, the way it does, is better than at some random height.... endless obsession.

Love it.

But I can't sit still with the pastel lightness. I would experiment with more saturation, etc.

Seriously, I'd suggest revisting this one.

Where'd you crop from? If possible, I'd add back a smidgeon at the bottom. All else is perfect.

Can't rotate it, 'cuz there's a swing or something hanging from tree on right, which has to be vertical.

I would have cropped the bottom up to just below the long horizontal cloud reflection. Leaving same amount of sky (reflx) as between clouds and tree top reflexion. But that's just me.

Nice parallel pic to mine that you've seen with red tree and pond and rock in foreground.

I've seen the original, another one, and the B&W. I, too, like this one the best. Liked BW next best (texture of front rail). [There, I've done it -- finally started participating (small way) on DPC.] Hugs.

He really does have a sweet face. I wouldn't mind seeing how this would look if you cropped off the left side and put more framing emphasis on his face. He looks like he is either getting ready to speak or give a big kiss lol - very cute!

Hey, we both picked the right color for this challenge lol. That IS a pretty pendant and I like how you used the mossy background to enhance the colors.

Creepy Dog! I like the way you processed it to really bring out his mean eyes. I wonder if you added a little more contrast if it would really give it a more dramatic feel. Just a thought. I bet this a the nicest dog and he's getting a bad rap from this shot.. LOL

Oh. Bruce_the_Robert, "Only then to be one piece of the discovery" really gets to me. Never thought of an historical dimension, of the incredible pretension of all "great" civilization. Thomas King, in his relatively recent Massey Lectures talks about the difference between stories, or story, in N. American Native culture and in Western civilization which he says is based on an either/or logic; I would add also on a "thing" logic.
And JerseyGenie, the suggestion of "theatrical mask," is brilliant. Also putting us closer to Japanese and other Asian traditions as well as Native ones. Transformation is a great theme.
I am moved.

Edit to correct name.
