Hello from Critique Club :)

I think the story here if you abandoned a dog, there will be another one who will be comforting it.... which is a nice story, I can see it from the first look.

Technically, nice exposure, only white dog's tail is over exposed, but it's normal. I wish you would wait for the sun go down a bit more, or hurry up before sun goes up that high, I don't know the time, so basically the sunlight here bit harsh.

Composition is pretty good. The other dog far side is taking a bit more attention, although I couldn't see it at first, I know it's there. The road itself is very nice; DOF is very nice, not too harsh, meaning not too tight.

I personally would crop this a bit more to bring out the "feeling" of the story. I would bring them to middle; keep it bit more tight...

I checked your work... Good stuff you have there. I think you are pretty close to get your first ribbon ;) Just keep trying. I always tell everyone to check out the previous winners, they are very encouraging bunch of samples.

Good luck

Leo

Cute composition, but abandoned? I'm probably missing something...

A sort of "Lady and the Tramp" story. I like it! Great use of dof for emphasis.
