Dog Photo Competition 1 2015 : Entry Number 144

The tones and variety of textures and shapes in this image keeps the viewer's eye roaming endlessly throughout, and looking for more adventure. The choice to use vignetting to put more light and emphasis on the dog as the subject allows the viewer to see him first amongst the many other competing elements. Nicely done. ~ illona

Thank you so much for the Mark of Excellence, I'm very honoured. The more so as even two of my photos were awarded :) This one was taken in New Hampshire, USA with a Leica M(240) + 50mm f0.95 Noctilux. Markus Wieser
