Interesting composition, but the dog needs to be sharper.

The sky is way to washed out in this photo.

if the focus was supposed to be on the "Heavens and Earth", the dog is intruding :)

Nice shot.. just the dog in the frame is a bit distracting.

Nice idea. I think for this challenge the shot would have been better without the dog. The sky is a bit "washed out"

For a focus on the sky pic, you really need to avoid blowing the detail in the clouds - slightly underexpose and playwith levels to "develop" it correctly in PS. Nice composition though (I like non-standard shapes and patterns of composition).

Pretty shot but I might have found something other than the dog to give it perspective.

There is a growing trend to place people or (or dogs or cows) in corners of photos of natural places to 'spruce them up a bit' , 'you know, add interest.' While indisputably they can provide a focal point and even a sense of scale they do frequently ruin the shot IMO. If it is to be in this frame, the four legged animal is at a perfect place in the frame. But if the photo is about that being, then we are just a tad too far away. On the other hand if the photo is about that animal's environment, then we are very much too close - the animal should be out of site. Why do I go on about it? I like the sand and the water. I like the sky in its pale tones and even the blown-out clouds. I believe that were the animal removed, there would be more exposure space for the sand and sky and their details could be expressed.

the clouds could use a bit more contrast in my opinions...the white about the dog (?) is overpowering my eyes are drawn to that spot.

This is a nice image. I love how bright it is and how powerful it is. The coloring is really nice. I like the way the clouds look . Nice work.

Now that looks like an outtake for the "pet portrait" challenge.
Too bad this is an open challenge, a little dodging and burning would do wonders for this imense blue sky!

What's the dog doing there? Your title might be read to imply that that is god examining his creation. I find this interpretation vaguely amusing, particularly because of the intensity with which the dog seems to be examining the ground. Almost as if to say, "Dang! I missed a spot!"
