Dog Photo Competition 4 2020 : Entry Number 50

Judges Comment

This is an extraordinary image. The dog perched at the top of the almost floating concrete steps leading to nowhere, the shaft of light reaching down from an upper floor lighting him, and the dark shadows of what appears to be a burned out building surrounding him, make for an almost eerie image. The depth and richness of the colors, and variety of textures reward the viewer's wandering eye as it move through the piece taking it all in and wondering about the story behind this moment. I do feel that initially the image is a little busy, and would certainly benefit from a little selective editing to clone out some of the columns and openings in the left of the image; this would allow the viewer's eye to go first to the dog on the steps before exploring the rest of the image. Nicely done, and congratulations!
