@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Actually, he seemed quite happy...he just has a sad puppy dog look naturally.

Something looks classic in about this image, have you considered processing it in black and white ?
Very good capture and the pooch is a real trooper.

@Fred: Thanks for the thoughts, Fred. See my response to Chris about b&w...

I agree with Fred in the sense that there is something 'classic' about this image - a timeless feeling about the dog looking at the painting with that expression, as if remembering distant memories. I also really like the processing, and I think it works better like this than it would in black and white; the green tones really work well for this scene. Fantastic photo, love this unique style of photography

@Chris Sullivan: Mm, thanks for the comment. I was struggling with whether to keep the color, but I decided to keep it since certain shapes became distracting without the differentiation of colors. Glad you like the processing--I've been experimenting with a little more lately.
