You guys are so funny . . . she's my neighbor, this is all you get to see.... and Maggie is a sweet little dog! Gigs

A lot of interesting comments! I don't mind the partial person, but it might be interesting to see the whole person. In any case it gets the message across. Nice doggie! Cndy

Definitely a sweetie of a pup! I agree that the photo would be stronger with the whole person in it. I like the colors.

Or maybe it's 3 . . . Gigs

Good point Linda. I still had not decided from the pic if there was only one person or two. A vertical format would clarify that - assuming there is enough in the original image to do that.

Why would it be offensive??? The picture is nice, but I guess I would have preferred the square to include the whole woman. I often only choose a close in portion of subjects but here I'm wishing I saw more of it. Maybe even a verticle crop including the woman. Just a humble opinion. Linda

Already cropped . . . the little dog follows her owner like a shadow, so they are always together. I liked the way they formed a box, with the human at work and the dog at rest.

My wife approved the photo so I hope it is not offensive except to the aesthetic sensibilities of some.

Johan, when you find your voice I'd like to know more about why you're speechless. . . Gigs

I'm puzzled. Why not wait for the people parts to move out of the frame or use the zoom to focus on the dog or the object of interest? The dog is really cute and watchful and all, but the other 95% of the photo is really distracting. A judicious crop is needed.

I'm speechless.
