My Best Photo of the Week (MBPOTW) Challenge – week 1

Although it shows my dog in a somewhat worried state (which obviously I preferred her not to be in), I like this picture because her glance straight at the lens works well to connect instantly with the viewer. I usually choose not to over-saturate a picture, but in this case I feel the vibrant colours work, and so I am prepared to forgive the graininess in the leaves of the plants. Her eyes should capture you after all, not the graininess :P

The plant is the perfect foil for her uneasiness. Still and calm, the green leaves frame and reveal to you the unease a dog can feel in a perfectly safe and secure environment that is its home. Our flat has become a little messy of late but close cropping it to a small corner of the flat, you wouldn’t know, would you? :D
