- This image is so striking and provocative. The choice to present it in black-and-white allows us to focus on the lines and the play of light, the back-lighting, the rimming of light that outlines this curious dog in its perfect pose. Powerfully conceptualized and then managed in post. Congratulations! ~ illona

- What an absolutely incredible photo ... an instant fave! The tilt of the bench is a little distracting from the otherwise symmetry of the overall image; with a little bit of work in post you could straighten that bench while still keeping your horizon line level. I think this image is definitely worth the effort! Beautifully done. ~ illona

- This is such an incredible image ... the phenomenal landscape, the framing, the leading line of the mountains top ridge, the turn of the dog's head into the wind, and the blowing tail. Nicely done! ~ illona

- This is such a fabulously striking image ... the deep shadows and the white blaze of the dog's face. Mysterious, rich, and provoking. Nicely done! ~ illona

- This is such an impactful image ... the shallow depth of field allows us to focus on the viszla perched on the old stump, its intent focus fixed off screen leading us to imagine what he might be hunting. Beautifully captured and handled in post. ~ illona

- This is a wonderfully strong and minimalist study of this sweet dog resting on a log. The shallow depth of field and muted tones allow the viewer's eye to stay on and explore all aspects of this great dog. Nicely captured and managed in post. ~ illona

- What a fabulous image and a super little dog. Strong framing and lovely muted tones to accentuate the foggy, cold weather. Nicely seen and captured. ~ illona
