A Trooper and his K-9 Partner C&C welcomed

[KimC]

Thanks Izzie, and yes, I agree - they both are :-)

Me too...all that I want to say has already been said...and oh, the handle is cute, err...rrr... the dog.

[KimC]

This was my second favorite of the handlers with their K-9s. These two are very intense. When I walked up photograph him he smiled... I asked him to just look at me without the smile as I wanted to capture their intensity.

I elected not to remove the hair that was on the man's coat etc, as this is his environment; it's not neat and perfect.

That's two very intense pairs of eyes! Well done!

I love this one better than the other one...very serious looking...and his dog too, what a long tongue. He must have worked that dog very well indeed.

Hi, Kim!

Both images are equally as nice. Your decision to take this picture without smiles really captured the focus of both handler and dog. The only suggestion i would have with this one, would be to create a new adjustment layer and desaturate his pink of his winkie.

Hi Marie. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I did consider what if any action needed to be taken on that. Was going to clone it out, but that was too extreme. I like your idea to take the saturation down... then it's true to the dog, but not as strong.
Thank you

Here's the revised version:
