I tried to get them to pose. Boy holding ball up, and dog staring longingly at it. Boy moved, ball moved, dog moved. Lucky shot.

Nice action.

Caught in a particularly friendly moment I see...I had a dog which was probably (very distantly) related to that one...

cute pic, wish the boys head made the shot, the way his hand is on the ground with the grass makes it look like it's backwards (no thumb!) and the way he's sitting (typical of a child) but looks like he's an amputee'. ;) pic to me doesn't quite portray 'best friends' - boy seems to have that uncomfortable/nervous - somebody help me look, body language is leaning so far away from the dog. (sorry).

Pretty cute shot, but I wish the boy was more in contact with the dog. It looks like he's just staring randomly off into space, and if you didnt catch the slight smile in his face, you almost might think he's being attacked -- which negates your boys best friend title.

I like the way you've filled the frame with these two, and the choice of bg works well to avoid distractions. Great expression on the boy, too. I'm a little less happy with the dog. I guess it's grabbing a ball or something, but with his head turned that way it's hard to make out. Combined with the tucked in tail, the dog's whole posture bothers me a little. You could increase contrast for more 'pop'.

good candid shot.

Cute candid. I like how he's leaning out of the frame. The background is really good too.

Hehe, blue heelers are cool dogs :). I like the way this photo is composed, the expression you captured, the way the dog's markings come up in black and white and the texture on the fence. Nice photo.

go cattledogs!!!! over all shot has good contrast and color, a bit blurry by the boy's eye and dogs nose
06/03/2002 05:30:00 PM
good composition/cropping
06/03/2002 03:33:00 PM
I like this! It looks like a posed picture gone awry! The child's face is so genuine!
06/03/2002 03:33:00 PM
Neat capture, super expression on his face!! Nice job.
06/03/2002 11:43:00 AM
Nice work! I had a favorite dog when i was his age... the lighting here is great! Good job!
06/03/2002 11:34:00 AM
Nice snapshot. I don"t like the child looking directly out of the frame, I feel like I'm not being told the full story.

slightly out of focus but a nice picture. I think I'll have this one printed and we can hang it on our wall.
06/03/2002 07:01:00 AM
nice expression
06/03/2002 04:37:00 AM
^o^ Lovely
06/03/2002 12:42:00 AM
My what an adorable boy!! Lots of story in this photo, unfortanately the focus is thrown on the fence and the subjects are slightly blurry. I would still hang this on on my wall though, good luck bro!
