Dog Portrait 3rd Place Winner, Rogerio Arajuo, Brazil

Title of image: “Max’s look”

Dog: Max, Lhasa Apso

“Max was a puppy when he joined our family. This little dog brought us much joy with his active way, intelligent and cheerfulness. I have shot some good images of Max but was unable to grasp his ‘personality’ or his true expression. This photo was made during a game of the World Cup in Brazil. My family were watching the game on the TV. Max was lying with his chin on the floor. It was a dog indifferent to the emotions of the game ... I realized I could take advantage of the natural light from the open door and make a good picture of Max, using the floor as a support to stabilize the camera. I increased the ISO and adjusted f/4 (maximum aperture) with aperture priority. The composition was designed using the reflection of the ground. I am very grateful to Max because he made a special expression that only dogs know how to do! The highlight of the eyes, surrounded by the white fur, is the trait we most like of our beloved Max.”
