stunning colours for the house that he sits by, they were the first thing that caught my attention about your photo. the dof does look like he's very much enjoying his rest away from life and the harsh sun's rays. thanks

Hi Alex,
very nice shot! The colour of the wall and of the dog create a nice monocromatism. One can feel the hot of an early african aftenoon, when sleeping is the only reasonlable thing to do.
Great POV and composition.
ciao
jeffao hot

Nice colors and a touch of humor in this shot. I like it.

i love this shot!!

The subject is splendid, good PoV and colours.

Привет, ПАлекс!
Присоединяюсь к восхищениям.Просто, как и всё гениальное.И всё в одном цвете. Супер!
Удачи!
Серёга

beautiful colours. Excellent POV. Very good shot !

Great composition Alex. She looks pregnant or else she is feeding pups no wonder she is trying to catch 40 winks. The textures in the walls etc compliment the softness in the dog.
Phil

Very nice shot.
There is a monocromatic warm beautiful red wall and dog).
It really gives the sense of african summer....
IMO, I would have cropped the photo on the left, mantaing the rule of third, focusing on the main subject (the dog) but taking away the yellow plastic-bag.
Andrea

well balanced composition; I like the dog's white colour on the nearly monotone scenery.

beautiful, well seen!

he he nice colours!

Beautiful picture! Best regards, Eva

Very nice!

Hello there Alexander

This is great shot all the way. First thing noticed is warm palette of colours, which is just strongest part of this photo.

Second is that atmosphere of siesta / mid-day ... Silence, calmness, laziness.

I just try to imagine that shot without that sleeping dog. It would be completely different. Definitely, there would be something missing.

But you done well. So, as a result we get wonderful photo with warm colours, humorous context and real atmosphere ( which is most important for me personally ).

Thanks for sharing !

Best Regards

Lukas

Nice slice of life photo. Maybe crop a bit to focus more on teh dog?

Che carino!!! anzi... che carina, visto che il cane и femmina!
Bella foto, bellissimi i colori.

Ciao,
Federica

What a wonderful photograph and worthy of appearing on the front page of Trek Earth. The colours are stunning. And like all the best photographs it tells a story.

Best wishes

Martin

Hello!

Great composition, wonderful colours, exceptional sharpness and really good POV.

..and then much difficult because as i see this dog is pregnant!
the colors around look energetic and intimate. lovely timely capture.
