Caption Sentence 1. A lost hound sits in front of a care taker at the Austin Animal Shelter (484-2222), slobbering as his gaze is captured by a delicious hamburger.

Caption Sentence 2. Photographers took photos of Charrin on April 15, in attempts to find this beautiful canine a new home.


Rules of Photography...

simplicity - the photo is simple because the background doesn't take away from the dog
cropping - the photo is shows cropping because you only see the dog's head, and now the whole body
rule of thirds - the feature of the dog's eye in not smack dab in the middle of the photo


News Values... 

Human Interest - people connect with the dog, and would want to save it
Proximity - the Austin Animal Shelter is close by us
Timeliness - happened yesterday


Lighting... 

Perfect exposure, because everything in the photo is visible and it's not too light or too dark


Lense...

Most likely taken with a prime lens, because of the exposure, and it's taken straight up to the dog, not zoomed in.


How to make it better...

-change the setting
-move him to a kennel
