I was so happy to receive the distinction of ‘Mark of Excellence’ in the I Shot It Dog Photo Competition. I don’t enter many photography competitions, in fact this is the only competition I have ever entered.  This Pet Photography competition takes place several times a year and one of the guest judges, Illona Haus, is a wonderful artist whose work I follow.  Illona is the mastermind, master artist, behind Scruffy Dog Photography out of Canada, and her style of shooting dogs on location is unmatched if you ask me.  I feel honored that she took the time to view my photo and award it the Mark of Excellence.
