Title of image: ‘The lady of the mystery forest’

Dog: Noa, Great Dane

'This picture was made in the early morning in the forest. I wanted to photograph her in a position where she was sitting relaxed next to a tree. When I wanted to make the shot she turned her head to the left to her owner and this was the moment where you could see her soul.

Dogs come in all different shapes, sizes and colours. But their heart are all the same filled with love'
