Waiting for Godog



I was in the town of Burlingame, CA a couple of weeks back and saw this dog waiting so intently on someone inside. Kind of felt sorry for it.

Took it with some Kodak 400 speed film (forgot what kind exactly) on my trusty Canonet. If I had 1 film camera to keep, that would be the one. It's a great little rangefinder.

Cute shot and good angle. For some reason, all the colors in this image seem to go well together. I'm glad you chose to leave it in color.

there is a nice convergence of angles and objects that draw attention to the subject, the trapezoidal shape of cement in the foreground, the dog leash, the weathered doorsill, the checkered tile patterns, and the corner of the purple door.

I see that this image is already cropped, but I would do just a tiny bit more, to remove the object in the center foreground, the drain cover, and possibly the two people in the background. Or maybe not... just saying.

Thx for the input. I was thinking of cropping out farther up from the bottom, but decided not to. Why? No reason. I know what you mean though cuz I just tried it on my copy in Picasa. As for the people on the top, I was originally going to crop out the 2 on the far right and leave in the person farthest to the left. Again, I just decided to leave the 3 in.

Thx STeve. I like Warren's suggestion on further cropping it, though. Good comment. I am going to keep a better eye on cropping next time.
