I think a tighter crop (just above the head and below the feet) would be better. Other than that I like it.

I agree with a slightly tighter crop. But otherwise great capture. I like the treatment on it as well.

Ditto on the cropping...crop to an equal amount of space above the dog's head and below his front paws and it should be good to go.

Can you ask the dog to look more forelorn? I mean, it's snowing outside and he wants in... shouldn't he be sad? :-)

I like the long vertical myself but would likely balance it (crop) based on content. A glaring problem for me is the way the entire left side of the frame is black. Whatever is obscuring this view, most likely a tree, should be cropped so the edge is clean (just my opinion of course). The tonality and theme is what I am attracted to. The long lines of the dog are reinforced with the long smooth lines of the building.
