Comment from Shirley Fernandez
This is such a great shot of a boy with a cute dog. The boy looks a little like, the kid, Ron Howard, from the TV show, Andy Griffin show. Good luck in the contest.

Good entry for this contest! I love to see children and pets together! Handsome grandson and such a pretty little red dog! Well focused, this image is clear , exposure is correct, the colors and tones are natural, I love the way the dog is sticking its tongue out! Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Comment from Anna McNiffe
What can be nicer than a boy with his best buddy ! It's a very pleasing shot but I think the contrast could be better. The background is the same color as the dog which is unfortunate. It's difficult to get our animals to poise for us. Very nice memory!

Thank you for your review. Are you looking at the right image?
The dog is nothing like the colour of the background. It is more like my Grandson's hair.
