this one wins the whole thing in my book - it tells us a story - it has real emotion - it's a great photo on lots of levels. You get the Digital Knight Blue (no gif associated with that title sadly).

:-)

Great work.

It's almost embarrassing how much I like this! So many delightful details, the dog's paw seeming to end in a human fist and we think of course it does, look at the dog, it is not a dog really. Look at the dog.

This is incredible. The high key effect, the expressions, the humor -- it all comes together.

I have an inkling that this shot was set up, but it tells such a warm story, that I wouldn't care anyway. And what a perfect example of an owner looking like the pet : ) The only thing I would change is the crop. Removing the geometric shapes (especially the circle) on the left would help keep the focus of the image on the woman and her dog.

Great shot. Well composed with just the hand hold the ice cream, and the joy on the subject's face is good to see.

Very nice image and an interesting and different moment captured. My only suggestion would be to crop the left side about an inch. 8

I like this "street portrait" in that you included a larger point of view to give context of the environment. Lighting looks good. You caught the different elements in this pic (great smile of the subject; the vender feeding the dog) to make this a very fun portrait to look at. One of my top picks.
