This chap look like he'd had a hard day

Old sins cast long shadows, just look at that face.

What a pityful looking dog! I wish it is owned by someone nice...

Good subject, Matt, but I think it needs more context. ie I feel it is framed / cropped a bit to tight.

Hi Matt: Don't you just wish that sometimes animals could talk so they could tell their stories. I'm sure this old guy would have a few tales to share. I like the way the old dog is juxtaposed with the old crumbling wall. It seems fitting somehow.

Gorgeous light! In addition to Greg's idea of including more information in the image, I would like the shot to have been made from the height of the dog's head. Doing so would have made more of a connection between the dog and the viewer; the current image makes the viewer more of a distant observer rather than someone who has been brought into the scene.

Thanks for the feedback guys, unfortunately I haven't really cropped the image that much.

Mike: Interesting point there, I've haven't really photographed many animals but shooting at the dogs eye level would definitely of made a more interesting image. I'll remember that for next time
