Dog Photo Competition 2 2014 : Entry Number 290

this image is perfection ... gorgeous black dog, perfectly lit, beautiful depth of field and soft tones, and those punches of red of the poppies are incredible. a truly stellar image and an instant fave. ~ illona

Thank you! For this photo I took my dog out into the fields in the evening. I made him sit in the shadow, surrounded by these poppies. There was light around that spot which added a nice effect to the grass behind him. I used a Canon 5D Mark III and the Canon 135mm 2 lens for this photo.
