This is such a sweet looking dog, he looks as if he has such expectation on his face. You can tell he is older from all of the white on his face and muzzel. He looks almost sad, like he isn't happy at being left behind.
Light is good in that it allows the details you captured, your clarity is also good.
I love the POV and you hav nice DOF. The OOF BG keeps the tire and the dog in the main part of focus of the photo.

Great composition and I enjoy the monochromatic elements very much. I especially like the way the background and
dog are similar tones of brown and then the sharpness of focus on the dog
pops it out of the similar background. Also the black eyes and black wheel complement each other in the picture. Very painterly.

Superb capture Mike! I like your dof and the exposures are right on. I would probably crop this a little tighter. But had him posed just perfect, and great to include the wheel.

Hi Mike, excellent pic captured here. It tells a nice story. Pleasant colours with sharp focus (did not know Nikon was able of such sharpness ;-)) and nice colour saturation. Well seen.

Super clean shot, nice colors, great "portrait" of a nice dog. The wheel of the bick really makes this picture interesting even if the dog is the main subject! Crispy details, nice DOF.

Tks for sharing!

This is so cute. I like the composition. Maybe try and lighten the eyes a little with a Dodge brush. Just my opinion. The colours are good.

Good Dog !!!

He does look very curious about you. DOF and POV spot on. We known what he was protecting with the part of the wheel shown here. Great POV and composition.
Well done Mike!

This just struck me as so funny..maybe it's the expression of the dog! Almost begging you to not come closer, because he would hate to have to bite you!
Nice shot, great color and clarity Mike!

Hi Mike,
I really like the inclusion of the bike wheel in this doggy portrait.
Great stuff! His look is worth a million dollars, makes you wanna give him a hug!
Thanks,

Hi Mike
Likeable taking. The expression of tenderness of the dog, emphasizes enormously. The taking of the piece of wheel, lets glimpse a precise detail but of which it takes hung in his neck.
And the color, excels on the defocused bottom.

Hi Mike

Just wandering around your gallery and spotted this.

It's the focus into those alert eyes that makes this a stand out coupled with the simple colour palate.

Thank you.

Hello Mike,

A fine portrait of this trustworthy fellow!
I like the composition with inclusion of part of the wheel, and the fur coat has great details...
Attractive colours and the DoF works well in isolating the subject!

That's a nice shot, high contrast colours and tones..i would tho crop it differently. (see workshop) but as the overall execution Good job.
P.S.i just realise that saw this picture a while ago...))) and someone already place a workshop...on which i've approved on the workshop...but anyway...one more won't do no harm....lol
