  • This is a captivating and unique image. The extreme overhead angle and the dark, almost monochromatic tones along with the minimal lines, clearly draw our attention to the lone border collie. Nicely seen and managed in post. Congrats! ~ illona

  • What a fabulous image. The high-contrast, black-and-white conversion accentuates the symmetry in this photo, and all lines lead to the sitting dog. Wonderfully seen, captured and managed in post. ~ illona

  • What an incredible image of a small dog in a large landscape. The storm clouds and distant rain, the silhouetted rocks, and the far-off gaze of the little dog make this an instantly memorable image. Perfect capture and wonderful management in post. Great job! ~ illona

  • The low-angle and the simplicity of this black-and-white image make it a very intimate image of a doberman peeking through the vegetation, its stare making it impossible to look anywhere else. Nicely done. ~ illona
