My daughter Ellie and her new Dog Vinnie. She had been working with him on heeling and such and got tired and laid down on the picnic table at the playground. The entire time Vinnie stood guard over her. He choose her at the pound and has been her guardian ever since. He adores her.

Burned to darken entire image, cropped and there you have it. I shot it in Black and White

Highlights are blown on the dog's chest and the girl's face. Probably nothing you could do without diffusers and assistants, but they are a distraction. There's also a bit too much contrast in the dog's fur; detail is lost both in the highlights and shadows.

For what it is, it is probably just about ideally realized. Technically it seems just about flawless.But the composition feels cluttered to me, and off balance. The tension in the photo comes from the relationship between the young woman and the dog. I wonder if there is a crop which draws our attention to this a little better?
