Gambler is a 3 y.r old retired Greyhound. He was adopted by my daughter. I wanted my image to reflect the gentle and well mannered soul of this amazing breed. Those eyes will steal your heart.

Congratulations, Sharon!!

Judges’ Comments

– Love the color pop.  Nothing says school like crayons, and these being unused definitely shows that it is at the beginning of the school year.

– Fun, Well Composed and Lit image!

– Great detail and color,  Very balanced composition.

Bob’s Comments

This was one of my first macro images. It was taken with a Canon 55-255 EF-S lens with a Raynox DCR-250 lens attachment. Used a single speedlight camera right with white foam core board at the left for fill. I can still smell those brand new fresh crayons!

Congratulations, Bob!!
