The only way to go with this, is a central comp, as they are both looking in opposite directions. Looks like they deciding which way to go.

I think there was an old story about two asses tied up and going in the wrong direction and getting nowhere :)
Lots of detail in the fur and sweet light. I guess the shadows are unavoidable.

Excellent! Perfectly conveys their stubborn nature.

Maybe lift the horizon so it doesn't touch the ears? (The blue sky was an afterthought.)

The two Daves are having too much fun. Mital, it looked pretty flat there. I think that getting right down on the ground would have been the winning move... That and using the 1.4 X converter and the Nikon 500 VR <smile>

Dear Arthur thats really true. getting on ground could be a winning move with this pose. but thats what i didnt got. but now as i know the techniques next phase of the season will be a good move as well.

using 1.4 can be plus point or 500vr prime but thats what i am not having budget. may be in future i may get prime 300 2.8 as not having own car even it would be tuff for me to travel with that bulky gun's..

wish me luck for car and prime in future :)

Mital,

Good looking comp on the two asses and as Artie suggested, getting low was the key.
