Man and Dog...

I like this shot I took at a local dogpark, however, I'm not particularly sure whether or not I should move it over to black and white. I am also looking for opinions on the overall composition, and makeup of the shot. Thanks guys!

This is the same shot, but I tightened it up a bit and moved it over to black and white:

I like it in black and white much better. Can you straighten the fences at all. They are bothering me??? I think that would do it.

I'd actually rather see the photo on the opposite angle. It implies movement in the direction it's slanted (that's why it looks weird right now)

Great subject with dynamic action and contrast in human and doggie sizes. The little dog cheering section in the b/g is great.:clap

B&W is definitely the better of these two. In addition to straightening the line of the fence, try cropping out the blown-out sky and trees on the top 1/3 of the photo.

I think it's a neat pic but you can make it neater-
