Yep... the second one is a real beauty and something that the artsy set would gobble up. A few years back I thought I would try my hand at the international juried dog art show, Art Show at the Dog Show held in Kansas. I entered a sepia image of the back of a Trev looking at a group of sheep and an agility shot. The Terv shot was an artsy shot and the agility shot was just one of those moments that all the planets are in aline... anyway, the Terv shot got 1st place in photography and the agility shot got Best Depiction of an Obedience, Rally, or Agility Excercise . My point is, just a gorgeous portrait like the first of your shots is usually not what these juried art shows are looking for, but your second shot is pefect for this type of venue , IMHO.
