Lovely shot Mata. The expression on her face is a wonderful capture. He, a typically dog just looks on as if to say - what on earth is she doing??!! She looks lovely in her little blue dress. Very well done. #270135

Kerby Pfrangle June 28, 2005

Mata

What I like best about the two images you posted the last couple days is your daughter love for animals.

It a very special gift that the some kids have and she grow up respecting and loving our four legged friends.

The image is very nice in colors, details and lighting.
