Artist's Comments

I don't know why this guy looks very ,very pissed off. I'm not sure, but I think he was trying to sell this dog. As you can see, he doesn't have very many customers, I wonder why? =p

Wonderful shot oh my word! It's quite a photo of character and culture. What I also like besides the great capture of the man's expression, is the bikes in the background.

It's a very good example of splendid photography. And in going through your gallery, I find a lot of your photos to be at that level as well. You have amazing work and I admire it greatly! =)

shameless self promotion much? [link]

I'd buy that dog just to take it away from that frightening man. You really caught a great emotion there...

I think iBlugirl summed it up very well on the aspect of character & culture.

However (and I hope you don't me saying this), I'm not a big fan of the tone you've given to the image (reddish/brownish/whatever-colour-that-is). Maybe it's just a tad too much for me. Anyway, that's just me.

But still, don't let me take anything away from you. It's a brilliant image. Period! Fav-ed it.

Your comment made my day!

I don't mind you saying that at all. I’m very happy you are open enough to express your opinions:D
I choose this sort of reddish tone because I wanted to convey a sense of anger and hostility. But maybe you are correct, it does seem a bit over the top [at the time I was doing I was thinking it was just under the limit I could push the toning]. What do you suggest? Should I desaturate a bit? or change the toning colour to something more subtle
:icondriftermanifesto:
People who are sad dont look that angry :D
:icondriftermanifesto:
Thanks.

Yeah people are pretty rough to the dogs there, its not uncommon to see them being kicked or pulled hard on their leashes.
