I took this photo last year while on vacation in British Columbia. This old Boy had grown an attachment to my father after being fed many treats. I took this photo on my fathers back porch where the old fella was content to sit.
That's one old dog. Very nice color. You lost the
eyes though. My suggestion would be to wait for your
subject to look up. When you see the shine in its eyes
snap the shot. I photog teacher told me once that when
the eye shine is not captured the head looks hollow.
I think it's good that you focused on the face, as the expression is the shot.
