Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "At Play" by ts446photo
"A head on shot- with the tongue, ears, and eyes all doing their thing Its what we see when a dog is at their best , out in a field , at play, living the good life. This head on , centered shot works well - really puling in the viewer, for a long look at the fun loving dog enjoying life. Great color, and facial details- SUPERB WORK !!" -Â Tom Guffey
Congratulations Runner Up "The fun..." by FabioPerillo
"Stick work, with a small, low slung dog that we sometimes over look. Great comp and placement in the frame. Speed in a little sdog always tend to draw the viewer in." - Tom Guffey
Congratulations Runner Up "Jay " by suzymead
"THIS is what a superb portrait of a dog should look like, Slightly off center, firm expression on the dog face representing the breed , and again, great color and facial details." -Â Tom Guffey
Congratulations Runner Up "The Grass is Always Greener.." by Matt__Connors
"Anyone who has ever owned a dog, has often seen this , as our best friend just wants a better look at what's up, on the counter or the dinner table . The paws pull you in, you focus on the nose and then see the eyes focused on what about to be picked off the table, The image tells a story that all dog owners have seen. . Creative comp, great color and details." -Â Tom Guffey
