in 2 days time...on the 18 feb, the lunar year of the Dog comes to an end...it will be the year of the Pig after that :)

i shot this photo on the 2nd day of the Doggy year :) around the begining of last year on Sentosa island
there was a flower show for the Lunar new year celebrations and photo competition...

this was the photo i took that day and entered into the contest, i got a nice surprise when i went back a week later to check the result and found my photo in the grand prize booth :)
it was a good year for me :) because of this photo i got a chance to upgrade to a Nikon flagship camera :)

i also got to meet the girl in the photo again cause it was publish in the newspaper and the girls parents managed to track me down :) i gave her a large print of the photo :)

Love the joy expression on that little girls face.

All the best !

A girl and her dog. Well-earned, BK. You nailed it. Congratulations. And happy new year. (What's next? A boy and his pig, I imagine.) Best, Hugh (Okay, it wowed the judges and everything, and rightly so, but on second look, I'm still going to be picky. I'm surprised you didn't remove the part of the person's head behind the dog. But, listen, if it was good enough for the Grand Prize, who am I to complain?)

Hi BK,
Fantastic photo with such vibrant detail and colours. You have expertly utilized a shallow depth of field to isolate and emphasize your subject matter. Well done on the lighting and the composition. Excellent image. Cheers, Todd

A super, natural shot - simply a wonderfully timed capture, well worth any prize! The expressions kids make can be a real delight and this is one of those.

In addition, the composition is perfect and the colours all compliment each other just nicely.
