Canine of Bali

Hello,

I came across this awesome fella while biking in Bali, Indonesia.

I am trying to decide which of these two frames is better for my smugmug gallery. Any preference?





or this one:



Thanks!

Both are nice, but I prefer #2. I like the sharp close up of the dog and the moss on the wall.

I'd go with #1 just because the background makes more sense. I find that purple roof top in #2 to be very confusing and distracting.

Just my nickel's worth.

I think no. 2 is nicer as it has less negative space.
No. 1 has more background but I don't feel that it adds to the image as would a wide shot for environmental portraits.
That's an interesting looking dog.

Both are fine, crisp shots of an engaging subject.

I prefer #1, because of the additional context. But then again, I'm generally more a fan of context than tight space.

Either way, I don't think you can go wrong!

Why post only one, since they are both so good?

Thanks everyone, much appreciated. As you can see, we're all fairly split on the choice, so I think Don has the best answer...post both.
