On Guard

Uploaded: August 15, 2009

Description

On our way to Maryland last weekend we drove through a little town and while we were sitting at a traffic light waiting for it to turn green we saw this dog sitting in the window, barking at passers-by, obviously taking the job very seriously!

What a great image! Awesome framing. If you don't mind me saying, I'd remove the fan. #7853405

Amy M. Wilson August 16, 2009

Thanks Melissa, Leslie, Ann & Dianna!

I don't mind your recommendation at all Dianna, and actually have to laugh because I originally removed the fan, then second-guessed myself thinking maybe it was too much solid dark area, so I put it back in right before I posted it! lol If it doesn't go anywhere I'll rework and resubmit, thanks for your input! #7853717
