Dog Photo Competition 5 2012 : Entry Number 174

an absolutely stellar image. the light, the tones, the depth of field, and the receding columns are stunning ... the arches echoing the lines of the dog is a feature some may not initially notice, but make this a strong image. very well done. an instant fave. ~ illona

Hello Ilona, I´m very happy about the fourth place winner! Thank you so much! I feel very honored about this. The photo was taken in July 2012. I wanted to take a picture of a dog in the historic part of Dresden/Germany, so I photographed the pretty Weimaraner Lena in the „Stallhof“... yes, I found the right location for it! The picture was taken with the Nikon D3s and 85mm / 1.8 lens, only using available light. My name is Katja Zipser.
