What a fantastic portrait. You perfectly captured the serenity of the moment, and even enhanced it with the superb processing. Sepia tones are THE perfect choice here. Congratulations.
ahha .. another morning on the beach ..
this is beautiful and even feels a little sad .. all at the same time ..
the wistful look on the guy's face .. the hug he's giving the dog .. like getting comfort .
its interesting what you can read into a photo that can be entirely not was going on ..
the camera never lies ... who said that .. !! .. lol ..
anyway .. many congratulations on the red ribbon .. :)
Very nice, lovely scene. I have looked at this several times to try and decide if I like the processing, something about it keeps me looking; I think I do (maybe). Bumping up.
This is awfully nice. It's my pick for best in show and a 10. I expect you may be getting dinged because the human face is not quite as sharp as the hand and dog, but I don't care personally. There's a mood to this. Looks like it could have been shot around here on Cape Cod...
nice environmental portrait, wish the dog was looking at you or the same as the subject. The processing on this doesn't work well for me, want it to be brighter to go along with the title
