Artist's Statement:
Manny is my 3-year-old pet chihuahua. My parents got him for my 14th birthday and he means a lot to me. He is a small dog with a big personality. I picked him up and made him sit still while looking at me. The background is a chair with a flowered-pattern that I thought would look good behind Manny. The main challenge I faced was getting him to sit still in the chair. I think it was difficult to include the rule of thirds for the first picture since I wanted him to be in the majority and looking at me as well. In both pictures of Manny I think that my lighting was poor in both and I had to edit them and increase the exposure.
