A brilliant capture!! Congratulations on your win. I just adore this image. The loyalty between man and his dog. I can't agree more on your words, "Dog will die to protect his ma and man will die to protect his country". This capture has $'s written all over it - I can see it being in a magazine or advertisement for the army ... It's brilliant.

My husband served in Vietnam and our son served in Iraq both still live with the horrors of war . We stand strong for our military and thank and bless each and everyone of them including the 4 legged officers that fought beside them and saved many on the battlefield. Thank you for this heart warming masterpiece !

Behind The Lens
Location
This photograph was taken In Afghanistan during my deployment.Time
The photograph was done around 4 pm.Lighting
Photographing in desert can be tricky to nail the exposure down. For this image I used a 70-200 lens and photographed this at f/4Equipment
I used a Canon 1Ds Mark III because its built like a tank and I couldn't afford a 1dx :)Inspiration
There is an airfield and the soldiers were overlooking it. I felt this composition was just perfect.Editing
Yes, This is an HDR image. I took a -2, 0, 2 exposure shots and combined them using Photomatics to make this image.In my camera bag
Currently I have Leica q2, Leica M10P and Sony A7RivFeedback
