(I also have an affinity for floppy-eared Boxers because we have had several in the family.)  Although the original image is impactful &#8211; the lighting focuses on the dog and the darker edges give good contrast and a sense of the space around the dog &#8211; I felt like it could benefit from some improvements.  In the cropped version, I decentered the dog and placed more focus on him rather than the scene around him.  It made sense to place him in the left lower quadrant to bring attention to the direction of his gaze.  This placement also removed much of the foreground, which simplified the image and brought the dog closer.  Although much of the forest is removed, one still gets a sense of the setting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was drawn to this image of a Boxer in the forest because I thought the setting was peaceful and contemplative.
