Today's subject: Dramatic Portraits of Dogs Pooping.

We first stumbled up on Brock Daves' photography through the online magazine and events hub, the Bold Italic. While the San Francisco-based photographer offers a stunning online portfolio of landscape and wildlife photography, it's his domestic works that take a little more time to digest.

Dramatic Portraits of Dogs Pooping is a vivid depiction of man's best friend in his least noble state. Featuring everything from Boxers and Bulldogs to Rottweilers and Labradors, this photo series of canines shitting is a four-legged litmus test of artistic taste.

Gross? Sure. Hilarious? We think so. But beautiful? You be the judge.
