I agree. Funny pose. Personally I would crop a little from the right

Hi Mike,

The pose is a little funny in itself, but MUCH more so in combination with your title! Definitely gave me a chuckle (and reminded me of something my pup does frequently!). I'm not 100% sure of what I think about the motion blur on the tail (little torn on it), but when I look closely at your tech specs and gear combination I see no way whatsoever it could have been avoided. In terms of the crop, I suppose a little could be shaved off the right side (as per Robert's suggestion), but if the image were mine I'd be more tempted to take a little off the bottom to place the feet a little closer to the bottom of the frame. If this is already a crop and you have extra room above, I think I'd add a little to the top of the image (about the same amount as taken off the bottom). But the key think about the image is the humorous pose and you captured that well!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Your title/caption is what makes this shot!
