I like the shot and the framing. I like that the face is partly out of the picture too, as you have to rely on other elements in the photo to convey the sense of relief.The cold tones give it a refeshing feel too.

The only negative for me, it the "hand puppet" shadow on his chest, which I find a bit distractive, although it would be quite difficult to elminate this and still have the hands and face so nicely lit.

Would have to agree with amk, great shot, just not sure about the hand shadow...

Cheers

I like the treatment of this & don;t mind the eyes vut out of the shot at all, I think it works really well.

I didn't notice the shadow of the hand puppet dog at first but when it was pointed out that's all I can see now! I keep envisaging it saying "sausages!"

Yeah, I agree with Cathus, the photo is great, colour, idea, execution etc. but the shadow ruins it.

Nice processing and idea. The shadow on the chest reminds me of a dog with its mouth open! :-)
