 This is Kristopher and Gretchen, those of you who have been around DPChallenge for a while know Kristopher has Aspergers Syndrome. One of the best things for an aspergers kid is a service animal. They cost about $10,000 per child, however I have a friend who self trained his dog to handle his cancer related seizures and now with his assistance we are training Gretchen to be Kristopher's service dog.

Only alterations made to the photo were cropping, adjusting contrast and brightness, greyscale and resized.

Adorable faces, both of them. I like the use of black and white and the softness of this

A little blurry, and the background doesn't assist the photo. But a tenter candid of man's best friend.

his face seems to lack definiton... and his pose seems a little unnatural.

This is a near perfect composition. The lighting is excllent. The expression is beautiful. It's a shame it's out of focus.

This is a nice shot. I love dogs and the relationships between dogs and people. I also like the fact that it was done in black and white it shows more emotion. Nice job.

Lovely, but a bit too soft and too much contrast. The details of the face are almost lost.

Gave it 4 because focus is soft and highlights are blown out a bit too much
