Part 4 of "Photo Essay"
This is a play similar to the dog on the stairs; here we have a whole lot of story happening in the foreground, but the dog isn't necessarily the focal point. It's the angry, live crab that the dog has adopted as a chew toy (sorry). The dog didn't get hurt at all. Very scary trying to get anything out of this dog's mouth. The crab didn't stand a chance. I thought that since this dog was almost a gun-metal gray, and the deck really camouflaged with the dog, then it would
be fun to take the understated background and modify it, through the hue/saturation selection, and have any background color relate to the tongue and mouth of the dog. It still looks a bit off, but the color play was nice, and yielded, as I'd intended, to the cringe-worthy action going on here.

i love this photo, the composition and angle are really nice, plus i love the crab being there.
Nice diagonals
This, I think, is your strongest photo in this assignment. I like the close-up view and the muted background, which helped play up the color of the mouth.
I feel bad for the crab but I like what you did with the background.
poor little crab.
