Winner of Both a Gold Award and Judges Choice

I’ve not been entering too many images lately. Being a judge now I feel myself becoming much more critical of my work and having an understanding of what isn’t worth entering. Also, being a judge means I can only enter the months that I am not judging. And July was one such month.

This is the image that caught the judges eye this time. It also happens to be one that has regularly got me to stop and stare. To me it accurately represents the standing this dog must have in his family and its a portrait that I am very proud of. He looks majestic and regal and the tones all work so wonderfully together. I’m hoping it does well for me this year in the annual competitions I am entering.  So hopefully its not the last time you will be seeing this image.
