| I'm thrown a little by the shadowed border but I think the image itself is wonderful, particularly the colors and the touch of blur/glow. |

| This is most definitely one of my favorite photos. The dog looks to be so blissfully savoring the beautiful summer day. It washes over you as you look at the photo. I think this is fabulous photography! |

| The dog is blocking my view of the power lines. :P Great portrait, Judy. Yeah, the crop hurt it, but you can still go back to the original and clone out the power lines to get a wonderful print from it. |

| I like this photo. Not too sure about the border effect, but I like the softness of the photo. I do wish that it wasn't cropped so close to the top of his head though. Just a personal preference. |

| The crop is a little tight, but the emotion and processing more than make up for any shortcomings. I LOVE this shot - it has such a natural feel and whimsical, animal joy that it completely transports the viewer into the scene. Very nice work! |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. The wind gently blows and billows and the tall grass sways to the musical tune of the air. The ol' girl feels the caress of the wind and she closes her eyes, tilts her head up ever so slightly to hear nature's music. This is what I see and feel when I look upon this photo. I don't really know if the dog is actually old or young but I feel that not only is the dog gentle but is an old soul that is connecting to nature. The expression is that he/she is hearing and feeling things in nature that we miss. Love the colors. The soft focus on the meadows brings a magical/mystical feel to the composition. One thing I note as very interesting is the choice of framework: the dropshadow makes the picture seem to pop off the page. I don't think the photo needed that for the composition itself is strong that it does not need any frame to put the spotlight on it. It is beautiful all by itself. |

| The composition is really rather distracting. Almost like this was for a pamphlet where text or something else would go on the right half of the image. The dog is really hanging out at the edge of the frame and the negative space doesn't really do much for me as it stands. |
