KIM, That German Shepherd is a magnificent animal and you have captured it in all its glory.

When I first saw this excellent image, I was going to suggest that the brightness of the dog's coat (image right) could be reduced just a touch. That is a picayune comment for such a nice image, but here is my suggestion which I couldn't offer during the competition...
