A Smile for the Judge

IMG_0048_HVKC2016

I was looking for an image to post from last weekend’s dog show and I kept coming back to this one.  It was taken the second before the judge put his hands on the dog for the first time.  I could have named this image “anticipation”….the handler is presenting the dog and I am sure hoping that he/she will be selected; the dog is anticipating being petted by the judge and maybe receiving a “good dog” treat afterward; and the judge is evaluating the dog against the standard for the breed.  I really love this image!
