Dog Photo Competition 3 2012 : Entry Number 444
Photographers Comment
Wow! We are thrilled to have won second place among such an amazing group of photographs and photographers!
Cocoa is our mighty miracle dog - most could not have survived the health problems she overcame during the first 6 weeks of her life. Maybe that's why she lives life now with such open-hearted exuberance!
Taken with a Canon 7D and wide angle lens, post-processed in Lightroom to bring out the tones, textures, and sky.
Judges Comment
i do wish the dog was just a wee bit to the left (not necessarily center, of course) ... i find that there is an odd tension created where the line of her neck meets the top of the rail line. but otherwise, this image bristles with such a rich variety of textures and tones that keep inviting you back to see more and more. beautifully done, and deserving of a big enlargement! ~ illona
