- This is a truly stunning image. The captured gait of this hound with its lowered head, the rugged, cold landscape, the variety of textures of rocks, lichen, snow and sky, and the cool tones ... all make for an absolutely wonderful photo. Nicely done and congratulations! ~ illona

- Wow I’m so happy, thank you so much. My name is jarmila from germany. I took this picture during my first hiking tour in south tirol with my dog raffi last autumn 2017. After a long summit walk we turn back to the vally and I captured this moment during a small break . I was using canon 5D iii with lens 35mm. Post processing was done with photoshop.

- This is such an incredible image ... strong framing and riveting stare, wonderful textures and stunning light. The post work in this image is spot-on, especially the soft glow coming through the doorway from behind the dog. Great job and thank you for sharing! ~ illona

- This silhouette image is utterly stunning ... from the strong lines of the dog, the pose, the head turned away from the wind, the blowing leg feathers, and the truly dramatic sky. Absolutely fabulous! ~ illona

- The deep tones and rich colors, along with the wonderful variety of textures in this image make it immediately captivating. I do find the framing a little tight on the left, but otherwise a fascinating image. Nicely done. ~ illona

- What fabulous capture of a dog truly being a dog. The post work on this image -- the dog being a strong silhouette contrasting against the high-key beach and backdrop, and standing out from the muted beach-goers -- is bang on. Nicely done! ~ illona

- What a fun and fabulous capture of this young shepherd diving into the water. Great framing and wonderful depth of field; the foggy environment also helps to allow the subject to truly stand out. Nicely done. ~ illona

- Thank you Ilona. My name is Kathryn and I was excited to see my photo chosen. I took this shot of my young shepherd on a foggy morning using a Canon 6d with a 16-35mm f2.8 lens. I love to use natural light and use my iPad editor to tweak them.
