Orwell / Pls critique - Page 5

 Thank you AandA,

I was thinking about what you said about how a dog appears in one picture having a level back and in another a sloping one, it is interesting right?
Okay, as some posters pointed out to me the correct way to make a correct stance plus how to take a correct picture, I tried today and I might have got a better stance which gives a better view of how the dog actually appears in person (whether he appears of better conformation or not you can decide that yourselves). I levelled the ground first and removed almost all stones so his feet, toes and elbows do not appear worse than the are in reality.
I can give two reasons why the back may look to have more slope than real:
1. Exagerated stance by pulling the hook more than should.
2. If the ground is sloping a little in same direction/ or the front feet are resting on a higher ground than the rear feet then the slope of the back appears more, this can be seen in first picture



In reality he looks just like in this 2nd picture with a normal not exagerated stance, maybe due to no stones and a little softer ground his feet and toes look better. In this picture I did exactly as I was directed in regards to angle and level.



The 3rd picture was taken from a wrong angle.

Ibrahim, I still like this dog even when he is stacked improperly.....With that said, I think you better send him to me asap....He looks like he wants to come to the states, specifically to live with me and my daughter...

Ibrahim...he is absolutly gorgous...the new pics make him look even more handsome....I like the third one the best, its a nice perspective....i'd take him in a heartbeat!!!

much better photograph - the middle one - the first one as you know he is standing on a slope, which is fine for a "posed" shot but not as good for conformation critique.  The last one is taken too much from the front which again is fine for a posed shot or to focus on his head/shoulders but can't show the angulations or structure.  Again, a very good looking dog - I see he does stand with left front toe-out, but this could straighten up as he matures and muscles up, and even if it doesn't it is not a huge fault, just something to notice.

 Ok, he's gorgeous. The only things I don't love are he appears not to have the best feet, and I like a more pronounced stop on a dog, especially w/a nice male. Other than that, he's very very nice!

Nice not too big or heavy,Head nice, wide eyes spread apart, mussel seems a bit on short side but wide and strong looking,his color is nice, legs seem  short from photos,overall far better than many.

You are a quick study my friend.  That 2nd pic is very nice.  The lighting leaves a bit to be desired, especially with a dark dog.  It's hard to have everything perfect in a picture but you are getting there.  Very nice dog.   

Ibrahim,,,I really like the new pictures. I can tell in the first picture that the ground is uneven, but I still think that he  looks quite nice. The second picture looks even better. I think this male IMO is very pleasing to the eyes....I like his top line and his tail set. He is a strong looking male with a nice big masculine head......Just my unprofessional opinion....

 Okay I want to make a special thanks to all of you who were very nice to post on this thread and through PMs, it was so nice to read and think of the positives and negatives of this dog, I am so happy he has more pros than cons and I am more pleased with the valuable knowledge I received from all of you. I am amazed with the intelligent diplomatic way you presented your thoughts and I am very thankful to you for being sincere and honest to your best in providing your expertise. Thank you... thank you so..  so much indeed.

I am obliged to you all

Ibrahim
