Default 2 Dogs on the watch

It was cold february day, when I went for a walk with my two dogs. They stayed on a gravel hill for a moment and look up to distance. They´ve seem as they are in real life. Levi the big one dominated and Viki the small dark under his chest in security. I love this photo and I like to know your judgement from technical side. Btw, sorry for my English.

Thanks a lot.

I do like the composition and the poses the dogs struck by themselves. It is just too bad you had such a grey day. I personally would love to see some other backround shade. The large dog kind of blends in too much. Works great for the dark on though. Try some different backround shading if you can. ( I don't have the required software for that...yet).

I agree with Hill Country Hack - it already is a stunning photo (great composition). The only negative about it is that the larger dog gets a bit lost in the background, which makes the photo less interesting/dramatic. Other than that, though, I love it

Thank You very much for comments. I hope, that I become one more chance with the same composition but better background.
