I don't really mind the choice in dog, but I can think of so many better ways to portray a faithful hound than in a forest with leaves falling to the ground around him. First of all, since when do leaves fall in nice tidy piles for you? They usually would blanket the ground. And the 3 leaves falling next to the center tree trunk look like they are attached to the trunk in some weird way. So I would give it a 7 for the dog, but 1 for the rest of the scene.My idea of portraying a faithful hound would be showing him at the feet of his master lying down by a fireplace. I guess the problem would be that if you are going to have your faithful hound go fetch something for you, you might prefer him to be alert and ready to go as seen on the card. On the other hand, since he first gets set aside, to picture him lying down and waiting for the next command from his master could be appropriate.(When I clicked the Preview button to make sure my post looked OK, I noticed that it said "fetching preview". How appropriate!
