Whoa !

A young girl struggles with her Great Dane while preparing for a pet show. I learned early that many times the best opportunities are away from the main event.

LOL. the little girls expression is priceless. Obviously she is not in control of the situation. Excellent shot!!!!! (As a professional pet sitter I will not walk a dog off property if I cannot control it...I walk a Great Dane cross that I got a head collar for as he would bolt after deer.)

fun photo, both beautifull.

Kaparu2		07-Mar-2009 13:02
Your note with the pic is an important lesson for all events photographers - the contrast here between her effort and the dog's effortless 'resistance' is another great lesson in photography - fantastic - it reminds me of an old black and white of my 5 year old daughter and her friend protesting against the stationing of American nuclear cruise missiles in the UK - less dynamic but just as contrasting and photo-journalistically powerful! bw Kev
