Critiques
Ignoring the reflection in the eye - which is really the jewel of the picture - this is a great macro shot, and the simple shape of the face expresses a number of things: Love and cuddliness, but also a hint of depression.
Factoring in the reflection (which is a great touch and must have been very hard to capture) adds a bit of story to the piece and raises some questions. Is the white dog, who appears so proud, strong, young, and virile, a new addition to the family? Does the older dog feel worn down or left out?
From a phoptography standpoint, this is a beautifully framed piece, although the depth of focus could in my opinion be just a little deeper, catching a bit more of the muzzle in a bit sharper focus. Although, an argument can me made either way; leaving the white hairs in a softer focus adds a bit of age and weariness to what I'm sure is a very happy and very well-loved pooch.
All around, great job!
