That looks like a cool dog!
I'm new here, too, so make what you will of my comments.
1. Personally, I've never liked sepia. It always seems like an attempt to make something that isn't really attractive, look attractive. I'm guessing that dog is black and white, and that your father's hair has similar coloring. I think that would be great to play with in black and white, not sepia.
2. I think the shot would be more interesting from a different angle. Close in to the pup from the lower left and looking up at father. Maybe even blur the father. Clearly the focus of the picture is the dog, so just go for it with him. Maybe put them on the ground and get a shot from directly above? Kind of a yin/yang kind of deal?
3. Finally, the background is distracting. You've got trees interrupting the dog's lines. how about going in real tight to the dog, maybe just the nose and dog's left eye and the man's shoulder/neck?
What I really like is the detail of the dog (especially the fur and eyes) and the similarity in coloring between the subjects. I'd like to see those things isolated more.
Thanks for sharing. It creates a learning opportunity for all of us!
