Dog Photo Competition 3 2012 : Entry Number 457

thank you for offering this image in a larger size ... it simply MUST be viewed in its fullness. absolutely gorgeous. of course, that's not saying that it isn't a strong image that holds its strength viewed even in a tiny thumbnail -- it's gorgeous any way!

beautiful tones and light, great shadow and depth of field, and i love those spread toes across the sand. well done! an instant fave. ~ illona

My name is Elke Vogelsang and you find my work under http://www.wieselblitz.de. This was shot on a beach in Denmark. I called this shot "the beach guard". She was kind of wandering around while I took some shots of seaweed and sand. When I looked up she strolled towards me. It was shot with a Canon EOS 7D. Thank you so much for choosing my picture. I'm honored.
