A picture of my new partner. Comments Please.

Thank you for your comments. Riggs will be well taken care of and get to enjoy the good life.

Every picture is supposed to tell a story. After you hear the story,

I hope this picture does it justice. Let me tell you a story about

Riggs. Riggs is an 8 year old Malinois, who for that last 5 years

has served as a police dog protecting his city. Riggs has found

millions of dollars worth of narcotics, found criminals hiding, found

lost people when no others could, and his favorite job being loved on

by hundreds of school children. Riggs has worked in the bowels of

his city in the dark, most of the time with only his handler by his

side. Riggs has been fearless and relentless in the face of evil.

In times when even his handler was scared all it took was the warm

nudge of his muzzle and the look in his eyes, and his handler knew

that no matter what Riggs would get him home. Riggs worked for the

love of his handler. Riggs has grown old and is having to face the

fact that he has slowed down, grown a little weaker, and that it is

his time to enjoy just being a dog. Riggs is now. having to watch is

handler go to work with another partner and wondering if the new dog

will do the job as well as he did and bring his handler home safe.

So here is Riggs looking over his city, standing in the middle of the

evil and his handler and the people who live here, most of the time

asleep and unaware of how he made them safer.

Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated, and won't throw in the towel just yet.

Was afraid of that, but hey thanks for taking the time to say something. Was hoping the sun's rays would help the picture be more than just another boring snap shot.

Didn't see any aquarium pics, so I decided to post mine, since you

can never get enough of an aquarium. Let me know what you think.

Does this happen to you, see a picture you think is worth uploading

for a critique and when you get to the forum you realize that maybe

it wasn't?

Suzanne, thank for taking the time to leave comments. They are very valuable to me. You have a wonderful portfolio. Aaron

Liked the colors.

Belongs in a magazine.

Amazing picture, you were able to capture two rare moments at once.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Beautiful Picture.

Great shot and a very different picture of a butterfly.

Marc, doesn't look like you need anymore comments, but it's one of those photographs, I just gotta say something about. But, I can't seem to find the words, it's absolutly amazing. You were one of photographers who's work I fell in love with when I started looking at this web site before I signed on. Your work is amazing. Keep it up, give us beginners something to shoot for.

Yazid, if you thought I was being sarcastic with my first comments, I apologize. I love the picture and I thought it was great then. A few days ago I had my first chance to try and photograph a hawk just flying. I realized just how hard they are to photograph, and I have a greater respect for this picture now, if that's possible. Again I apologize if you thought I was putting your picture down.

Comments Welcome.

Not a posed picture, just got lucky that my daughter stepped on my

son's footprint.

I don't think I'm someone to tell you how do anything better, however I'll tell you what I like. I like the detail in the sky and the woods, the color and light is balanced, not to bright, but bright enough to see detail. I like the dead end road in the shot (at first I wasn't to sure about it). To me it shows how we just keep moving, we can't seem to find time to stop. I think it is a well done photo, I've tried this a couple of times, and if I got results like this, I would have taken more.

I love it, Im sure someone will bring up the fact that what ever was dropped is cut off, but for me great shot, great timing. And this is the real world, not a zoo, where you have all day to get the perfect shot. Very good picture, great color and detail, and I love how everything is frozen.

Love yet it makes me sad. Great picture I can feel his disappointment.

Very nice.

I love the light. Great picture with a new perspective.

Where was this taken?
