Dog Photo Competition 2012 : Entry Number 947

this image rocks. the choice to convert it to b&w makes it a stronger image, accentuating the bare elements -- dog + ball. can't get a better combination than that! love the deep contrast, as well as the different textures, and the well-worn, distressed deck revealing years of faithful ball-fetching. well done! a definite fave.

This photo was taken while on vacation in NH. After a long day of playing at the beach, casing the ball, Toby was wiped out and slept on the porch. Photo by Fred Levy, Maynard MA. Shot with Mamiya 7ii 120 film camera and Scanned with Epson 4870. www.fredlevyart.com
