Blurred Motion
I like the softened gray tone of the background, and the way the grass appears more like brushstrokes than a photograph. The dog is positioned nicely to one side of the frame, adhering to the rule of thirds. I am, overall, pleased with the effect; if I were to change anything, I might dodge the dog slightly so that the white fur appeared brighter. I would also dust the negative more carefully to avoid imperfections on the print surface.
This was a difficult photograph to work with because the sun in the background caused the dog to be shadowed and almost solidly black, and the entire lower right portion of the image is darker. If I were printing this again, I would increase the contrast, decrease the exposure time during printing, crop more closely around the dog, and dodge him slightly do give him sharper quality.
