With "Noodles" the Tafika Lodge Basenji. He would sit and wait patiently
for his dad to fly over the Lodge in his Microlight aircraft.
The solitude, faithfulness of mans best friend, looking back over the shoulder, campfire just burning down after the nights rest, all make this one a nice image. What detracts from it for me is the white top. I would, if you have it, crop it out and give the bottom more room to compensate. but if you do not, keep it. Perhaps lighten up the dogs face. this has a lot of emotion, he misses his friend and master. It reminds me of my dog Luke, a Vizsla, a Hungarian hound. We had to give him up. he needed more room to run and more attention. They call them Velcro dogs. I miss him terribly.
Hi Marc, I agree with Grady on the lightening of the dogs face and the whitish sky. A few steps to the right may have given you a bit more seperation between the dog and the pot and also eliminated the branches protruding into the frame. This does have a nice emotion to it and maybe working on a few of the mentioned improvements will help.
Good story of a dog waiting for his owner. To add to Roman's comment, not only would the separation from dog and pot improved the view, I think you would get a good sweeping arc from the fire, to pot, to dog, to keep a dynamic element in the photo. Otherwise, well framed to have the dog looking out over lots of empty land
