Nice shot Alex. Well captured and framed and plenty to retain the viewer.

Alex - what a fantastic shot - sharp as a tack and gorgeous eye contact !!!!! I'd kill for this shot
Playing with it on screen, looks fantastic as a pano with the text removed via a crop just below the 'handle'.... or even with the text removed (PS) - I kind of find the text a little distracting, but
LOVE IT

Great capture!
The colour and composition is fantastic in this image, and the contrast pretty much spot on.
The only thing that I find distracting is the top right of the dog - some of the highlight detail has been lost.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
Rel, I might try viewing it without the text and see if it works. It is a bit destracting.
Wendell, Not much story to the shot. Went to an animal farm with my son and there he was, I took a few photos of him. Nice and patient
model
Daniel, Yes, it is a pity about some blown highlights on the body of the dog. That is depsite reducing exposure by -0.5EV in-camera.
Here are a couple more of the same
model.
Cheers

Alex, these are fantastic! So simple yet really tells a story! I particually like the first image. You can hear the dog thinking '...and what do you want?'
Great stuff!

Ignore Rel
The last image is the one. You have the dog on top and the other two below him asleep. Having the Tom's time out zone text in this differently composed shot is the icing on the cake.

Alex... ignore both of them... the second one is the pick... Tom really looks like he's in need of some time out in that one... besides, it's the only one left for me to choose.

Ah yes, That second one definitely says it all. Fits much better with the overall message. This is where you come for a snooze. Very well spotted and shot. I wouldn't change much here at all. Like Rel says though, on the first one, a crop under the handle is not bad at all.

Yep. What stubbsy said, it all works well to make a great photo.

Loved the first shot and was OK with the text. The third shot though is fantastic - like, I'm the boss here and don't interrupt me now!

Woof Woof, wonderful shots, IMHO the last one is the best, it really tells a story.

Yeah, I'd say the last one has it. You don't get to wonder whether they take turns sleeping in the top spot...
One thing I find curious is the fake eyes on the breed of underdogs (whatever they are) , esp the black one. That's usually a defensive feature and a kind of pretend you don't often see in predators.
Cheers
Steffen.
