A beautiful portrait of the two. I love the lighting. The story of the bond between this man and his dog is so apparent in your choice of creating a statement in the uniforms, background and lighting. A very well executed portrait. A top favorite in this challenge.

this is another stand-out portrait Erin .. has the same feeling as 'not all who wander are lost' ..
its the sort of image that captures your attention immediately .. then you look at the details .. well i do anyway .. ;)
absolutely loving your depth of field .. thats magic .. the man and the dog .. there's a story there .
congrats on 4th .. i'm assuming the guy in the pic would love a copy ... it really is very special . :)

Congratulations on the blue, Erin. This shot is stunning. Not only is the 1 out of order, so are the 3 and the 4.

Thank you ALL for being so generous with your kind words and support. Roz your link was so kind of you! I also found your observation that a 10 could be confused as a 1st place very interesting and hopefully the intention; however, it seems like it came from a participant (judging on the avg) and I would be surprised if a participant made that error. Possible I guess? Maybe eliminate the 1 and start the scale at 2? LOL
