cute dog.

No self-respecting dog should be forced to wear a rhinestone collar!

Love the idea, just feel you could have framed it better, after all he wasn't about to run away.

He's cropped to the rule of thirds, which is about as good as it gets.

I think he should have more room in front of his 'face' - it might be cropped to the rule of thirds but I think the subject could have been on a better intersecting third than what it is currently.

@Fallinghorse: Gee, is that what you think? Thanks so much for your astute observation.

Being that swans are mostly white and the mist on the water already leads to decreased saturation of color, the result is nearly B&W....for the spirit of the contest, although a wonderful shot, I think the subject could have been better chosen...

Sweet.

I'm not sure what size original you have to play with... but it might be nice to crop it down to just the crowd on the left (about the left half of the present shot). Then, you'd have a bunch of people in kind of drab, light colors, and the one young lady in blue. She would really "pop" then. Just an idea. *shrug*
