Question Dog watching Ballet...

This dog watching the outdoor ballet performance really intrigued me and I wanted to capture the moment as silly as it sounds.

Please critique the composition, subject matter, field of depth, contrast, and especially tone and color. I am not afraid of Harsh criticism as that is how I learn.

I'm no expert, but I love this shot. The intense look in the dogs eyes say it all for me. Very nice!

I really love this photo, the expression of the dog aswell as the placement, leaving the left hand side open. I think the sepia tone also helps pull it all together and without the distraction of perhaps what may have been too much colour this is a really serene shot (not sure if serene is the exact word Im looking for but you get my drift!!)

Maybe it's the fact that I am a dog lover, but that shot made me smile without realizing it at first. I think you have a very good combination of tone, composition, cropping, and subject. Very nice.
