Wet Dog
When we present photographs we need to ask ourselves what makes this image interesting to others, why would they be inspired. The photographer has the disadvantage of having been there at the time the image was shot and knows the story behind the picture. But the viewer does not. The photographer may even have an emotional attachment to the subject. But the viewer does not.
This photo of a dog in the water holding what appears to be a deflated ball has some interest in the fast shutter speed used, the exposure as frozen the water where the toy was plucked off the surface. The background is simple without unnecessary distractions.
I would suggest that is particular animal is not shown at its best in this composition. The color of the water and the hues in the coat of the dog are not particularly appealing to the non involved viewer. This is an image the dog’s owner would enjoy but people who know nothing about this pet may not have the same positive reaction.
