At least two viewers. Frank and I both said we liked it. I find it quite fascinating. The juxtaposition of the person and the dog adds interest. The jacket that separates the two is sharply in focus, as the head and the dog become slightly softer background and foreground elements. Social commentary is irrelevant. The pic is good because it's compelling and unique. BTW, I frequently cut off the tops of heads on purpose. If this shot wasn't packed tightly into the frame, it wouldn't be nearly as good. Paul
