•  Oppose Besides that the focus is well set on the eyes, it doesn't seem to me that this image is one of the very best on Commons, sorry. The composition isn't especially appealing. --Basotxerri (talk) 19:51, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support I think it's good dog portrait. The golden glow of the sun sets off the dog well from the landscape in the background. I like that you can see that the dog is in the open and free to roam. --Cart (talk) 20:02, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment Trees look odd and sky is posterized. Charles (talk) 20:23, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

As for the trees, it is an olive grove, and the strange effect can be given by the fact that a strong wind blows.PROPOLI87 (talk) 20:41, 5 April 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87PROPOLI87 (talk) 20:41, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Ordinary image of a pet - nothing special. —kallerna (talk) 05:42, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Good shot, but not outstanding. --El Grafo (talk) 07:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Charles called it: Problematic background. This is your best FP nomination yet, but parts of the dog's head could be sharper. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I realize that Charles is right. Only if I had managed to photograph the dog with another background would the photo have come out better. I tried to seize the moment because the dog as he sees me getting closer to grasp the details immediately changes position, in particular he comes to meet me to play. Often the photographer when she runs, and despite being on the move is already easier. Thanks for your judgment.PROPOLI87 (talk) 12:47, 6 April 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87PROPOLI87 (talk) 12:47, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Support per Cart. Quality is not perfect but probably the best of the shots you've nominated. I get Kallerna's argument that it's an ordinary pet, but I think it's a very good portrait under nice light and well-composed. Cmao20 (talk) 18:50, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. I would like to clarify that pets tend to be uniformed, which seem common and therefore not worthy of particular interests. From direct experience I can safely assert, that this specimen of German shepherd has a wonderful muzzle profile which I think I have focused well, which not all German shepherds have. Each dog has its own different expression and character even if of the same breed. This is why I think that asserting "a common German shepherd" and making him pass as banal is a superficial judgment. Not that I believe I have produced the masterpiece photo, I know my limits that I am trying to overcome and improve the technique, but the subject deserves it, believe me. And it's not just because of the love that binds me to this dog, I loved uglier dogs in the same way.PROPOLI87 (talk) 09:20, 7 April 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87PROPOLI87 (talk) 09:20, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Nice attempt, but the quality is not quite good, sorry. --A.Savin 21:17, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others.--Peulle (talk) 08:34, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Harsh light, and too ordinary -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:38, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose I like the way the dog looks, but the background is too distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 21:16, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose precisely per Kallerna. Lacks wow, nothing special if you don’t know the dog. I could nominate dozens of pics of my own dog like this, which are very special to me of course :) --Kreuzschnabel 07:23, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
