Dog on the move

[Guitarplayr34]

I took this photo in my backyard while my dog was rushing around. I was trying to use the leading lines of the stones to get to my dog. I'm mostly wondering about the composition, and whether or not Zeus being out of focus doesn't work. I welcome all other comments or critique. Thanks!

I love the risks you are taking here and many of them have paid off for you. The paving stones definitely provide leading lines where you want them. Catching the dog mid-action is also working for you enough that I don't mind that he is out of focus. However, the overall image lacks a unifying theme. Please, keep working in this direction, because I believe you will soon hit the right combination of elements at hit a real home run with one of your images.
