Opinions on photos?

[drumminj]

I know there's a forum just for photos of boxers, but I'd like more constructive criticism. Took these at kind of a "point and shoot" moment where Oscar was relaxing on the balcony after a hard day at the dog park. Tried to be creative on the angle, but couldn't move around him too much without him moving. Thoughts?

Your pictures are fantastic! Oscar is such a doll! Is that a scar on his back, or did he just get dirty at the dog park? Give your sweet boy lots of mushy kisses from me!

Being a 25-year-old male, I'll probably pass on the "lots of mushy kisses". I have an image to try to maintain

Yes, it's a scar on his back. He's a rescue, and they don't know what caused it. Vet thinks it's some kind of burn.

By the way - for those who freak about choke collars.

I never use the choker on him. When we get back from the park, his collar is wet from swimming in the lake. I don't keep the collar on him in the house, and when I take him out(live in an apartment) afterwards, I just throw the choker on quickly rather than the wet, smelly collar. He needs to go out about every 15 minutes afterwards since he tries to drink as much of the lake as possible when swimming and has a bit of a bladder control issue.

Just thought I'd clear that up.
