Actually this is my lucky dog, Lucki, reclining in daddy's chair. I really like this one. I'm wondering whether I should crop the photo or remove the LED in Photoshop? Thanks for looking!

Only an opinion. Work the highlighted area in the forground to lower the shine that will show the dog more, then check the cropping you want

He is cute I agree would look better with the LED out either way would work cropping may help you focus on the dog more though.

I almost cropped this image this way but then I thought I'd be taking away from something or that I should leave the foreground for some reason. I really like it this way. Thank you!

Is'nt it interesting how little we change to much improve the resulting "print". One of the best parts od computer imaging is trying incremental changes for the cost of time. In a darkroom you not only have the time but also the paper,chemicals and waiting for the process to complete.

I like the sad eye look, but thought the large white area on the right distracted too much. So I cropped it out then rubber stamped back into the blank area. Also burned into the fore ground to leave the focus on the dog. Just my two bits worth.

I really like this one, too, FOG. Thanks for the great ideas!

What is amazing to me, is his paw curled up like that....and the trust Lisa, between the subject and photographer...as a pet owner, his eyes say I love you.
