I love the one tone aspect of this photograph. It reminds me the old fashioned sepia tones of yore. Good use of camera. Idea? Crop out the dark area to the right in the phot to balance the other side then it would be perfect.

I love the lighting in this picture. The dog looks a little sad, cozy and very lovable. This picture makes me want to reach out and pet him. Well done.

Thanks for the feed back

Comment from Magnolia
Very warm photo! The colors are great. The lighting is perfect for this type of shot, as you are portraying a peaceful moment in time. Bright lights and sharp focus would ruin the effect. Love it!!

Comment from missingangel
I absolutely love this picture being an animal lover and all. The dog looks so sad but at the same time looks very cozy, almost as if he was snuggled in front of a fire. That is what i get from it, the lighting reminds me of a fireplace...well done

thank you, I don't like flash photography and I try to use natural lighting whenevr possible

Comment from brokelizard
The focus does seem a bit off but thats understandable considering how you took the image, the contrast also seems a bit off, you needed just a bit more natural light to pull it off although the image as whole is nice, good composition and subject matter, he looks so relaxed. Nice work.

Great job with the lighting on the dog. It really brings out the golden color in the fur. The only thing that would have been nice is if the red rectangle in the foreground on the left side could have been omitted. But this is a great shot.

Comment from Casteel
This is such a beautiful photo, it would look really nice on a wall somewhere, although I find that on the right side of the picture it could have been cropped just a touch more as it seems to have a lot of empty space there. The angle and the image quality is wonderful the shadow is great. :)
