I just stumbled across this photo and I'm so happy I did. I absolutely love it! The dog is beautiful and I love that everything is in black and white but with the splashes of red. You captured a perfect pose with the dog and I love the background, too! Excellent work!

A beautiful, loyal pet. He looks both like an Australian shepherd and a little bit of British Springier. Those brown eyes
are so kind and pretty.
This is a perfect entry for
this contest and I wish you lots of luck.
This is another photo that you should give a copy to the owner. I'm sure it would be treasured.

Nice use of the selective color of his neckerchief, eyes and the ball. A very fine entry for this contest. Your edits look very professional but something about the ball doesn't look natural. Did you add it? Like the brick wall background and how the dog and ball are highlighted. Nice work!

A wonderful red scarf, was the red ball there too or did you add it? It goes great together, nice vibrant red and his brown eyes give him life. Excellent work:)

Great Black and White image. The use of the red scarf, and red ball, contrasting with the stark Black and white really work together well.

Great use of Selective color!
Love the red on the Neck bandana and the ball. The brown eyes are superb.
The textures of the bricks and the dogs fur are both superb.
Love the look the low key style lighting and the fine work that was done here.
Outstanding Work!

    Did I get that correct? Sokkene av!
reply by the author on 06-Aug-2014
    Yes, but we don't really use that expression in Norwegian, so it doesn't really make any sense. We would probably say "Hatten av " which means Hat off.

    But WE.. you and I do not say that! So we keep it the way we say it! Ha!

Very nice picture. I especially like the unreal feel of the reds against the greys of the rest. Good capture on his face. Handsome fellow. Very nice. Cheers, JR

The red really adds a look of distinction to this use. A great presentation.

Thanks for sharing it 👏
