Animal

Dixie, the guardian.
This is a guard dog. Unfortunately, she loves everyone. Can you tell? I swear this dog is smiling.
The photo is cropped in Windows Live Photo Gallery and the exposure and color are touched up in the editing process. I think this photo captures this dog's personality. . . I had to get up off of the ground before she got to me or the camera and I were going to be licked to within an inch of our lives. I lined up her eyes with the rule of thirds and love that her tail was wagging to the right of the photo also in the upper one third of the shot. The shot is also of her walking towards me, so I used the sports setting on the camera to catch her tail without it going blurry as it wagged. The sun was to my right in the morning to reduce shadows.

  1. To make the best better; this photo does a good job of having a background that is not cluttered. The green grass nicely complements the color of the dog. However, I unfortunately cut off the dog's legs in the front.
