Winner of the 2021 Hancock Hill Award ($50)

“This image really touched me. Not only is it executed very well, the dog looking right at the viewer is everything while his sweet boy is seemingly oblivious and just into his dog. Having great dogs myself I had to choose this for your moment of capturing their relationship in such an honest way is spot on and precious. Such a good dog. On the photography end, your framing is fantastic, the way the little boys' legs are out combined with the dogs' eyes, mountains, and the light and dark contrasts are everything here. It was another one I kept going back to as a favorite from the beginning. Nice work!”
