 Dog caught on film. This was taken on my "action" setting. No post processing. I liked how the dog filled the frame. I think some may not like how both eyes aren't visible as well as only part of his back. No post-processing otherwise

Don't worry about playing by the rules to make a good picture, this is a great photo in my opinion.

The DOF is on the sand just in front of the dog - its working for the photo in that the texture is the main immediate focus. You have GRIT and a lot of it. THEN you see the dog, looking slightly menacing (one eye, matted fur?) or maybe playfull (flying sand, wet fur?)- but your not given enough information because of the crop. This makes it interesting in creating a sense of "Whats really going on here?". It has the same curiosity inducing effect on the viewer as a knowing smile on a portrait with no outside explanations given. I found myself looking for MORE in the photo. Trying to pick out more details from the background to make more sense.

So, played by all the "rules". No, and it worked out wonderfully. :)
