just saw this amazing photo. Reading some of your replies I learned you adopted her.
If I could tell you how much I admire people with your heart.
Not only I love the story (to which I totally relate) but the photo is spectacular and moved me deeply
thanks

Bill Mangold Daniel, thank you so much for taking the time for your wonderful comment. Because we adopted her we, not Sophie, are the fortunate ones. It is nice to know that there are others who share these feelings.

Just love it.

Bill Mangold Hi Cupcake! I so glad that you like this one as it is a favorite of mine. I see Sophie waiting for me all of the time but never thought about trying to capture the emotion in her face until I took this one.

Cupcake Some dogs have a very expressive face.
I have one dog that looks like he is smiling.

A great shot. Even better is that she has her forever home and will know limitless love until the end comes. You are one of our better angels.

Those big eyes look so sad! If she's yours, you're lucky! I guess she's a wonderful companion (and now you'll say it's HE :-DD)
Very moody image!

Bill Mangold Hello Inés. Thank you for the understanding comments. Yes, she is a good companion. She is adopted from the local animal shelter where she was about to be euthanized because no one would adopt her. You see, she had a severe infection with a parasite common here called heart worms (the name says it all) that is fatal -- even the cure for heart worms is sometimes fatal. The parasite is in remission now and she is a very happy and loved family member.

This is a beautiful image, full of emotion. The dogs expression, the window holding him inside, it tells a strong story. I see sadness and loneliness...
Great crop and composition!

Bill Mangold Thomas, thank you so much for your complement and understanding. I really didn't think that this would make the cut because of the "motif" issue -- you know, no dogs allowed.

As i said in screening.. Please let me take the dog home.. I love it, i love those eyes of the dog, i love the tone.. I also commented the heavy right side, but in this image the story and message makes the whole image and tells a story, and my heart just melts away..
