[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The sea is a hungry dog,
Giant and grey.
He rolls on the beach all day.
With his clashing teeth and shaggy jaws
Hour upon hour he gnaws
The rumbling, tumbling stones,
And “Bones, bones, bones, bones!”
The giant sea-dog moans,
Licking his greasy paws.

And when the night wind roars
And the moon rocks in the stormy cloud,
He bounds to his feet and snuffs and sniffs,
Shaking his wet sides over the cliffs,
And howls and hollos long and loud.

But on quiet days in May and June,
When even the grasses on the dune
Play no more their reedy tune,
With his head between his paws
He lies on the sandy shores,
So quiet, so quiet, he scarcely snores.

Boa noite Sergio,

Excelente composição cujas cores são para mim belísimas! Uma ótima captura de um adorável cão.
Parabéns e um grande abraço,

Sua foto está muito linda, Sergio. Os tons estão maravilhosos, e a presença do bonito cão a contemplar o mar deu um ar poético à composição. Muito bom, amigo. Meus parabéns e obrigado!

Abraços,
Bruno

Sorry, I think I'm missing something here that the previous posters can see given their praise for this - but the horizon is squint, the dog is too central and it feels washed out.

ciao Sergio..
beautiful capture.. so intense by light and contrast!
tone is effective.. so the moodly focus you have taken!
thanks
ciao Marco

Detail of the fur makes this special - it is sharp in detail but soft in texture. The dog is well separated from the surroundings.

Boa noite Sergio

Good use of a shallow dof, with excellent sharpness on the profiled dog. I like the soft oof bg, & motion blurred waves. Tfs!

Boa noite Sergio
First the dog is amazing...and the focus is divine ( for me).
Sometimes in life we have to choose between earth and the sky.
And sometimes when you do the best in earth is not the same in sky.
But when you open the tumbnail...I must say ...I have said..WOW.
Um abraço
Teresa

I like it. I enjoy the warm tone.
Perhaps if the subject was in the last 1/3 oh the shot with space ahead of it? I don't care much for the slightly tilted horizon. It could likely be a wave.

Ola sergio,
Boa foto, grande focal point,
Um abraço

Uma boa foto com muita "Raça"!!!

Hi Sergio.
