Welcome by Kickapoo dogs Photo

Photographer’s Note

Photographer at work

I shot this picture of one of my companions as we entered the restricted zone owned by Kickapoo Indian People in the Sierra Santa Rosa Mountain, west of Melchor Muzquiz town.

I was surprised that the dogs were so smart: they knew the guess has been formally accepted by his boss to the tribe. Instead of biting him, they showed their best welcome. No wonder why we call them "man's best friends".

this is a touching phto of every day life. It is nice in that it seems more alive than photo shoeing nature or buildings. Lovely happy face on the man, and playful dogs.

Güzel bir kare.. köpeklerlerin eğlencesi farklı ibr anlam kazandırmış fotoğrafa. Bir de fotoğrafcıyı bu karede yakalamak işin diğer boyutu.. Onların dünyası böyle. Zevli ve neşeli..

Başarılar Diliyorum

Whether by luck or by talent, you deserve my admiration for this quick-reaction picture. Of course the middle "man's best friends" made the picture, but you capture the action at right moment. This is should not be in "humorous" category. It is a "decisive moment". Thanks for posting.

Cheers!
