 Hard capture to get, but I did my best. I'm riding along with my girlfriend and look over at her (shes driving) and see this convertable driving next to us, the car, the dog, it was perfect. So I'm shooting thru our car, across my girlfriend, out her window, and trying to capture my picture. The whole while the guy keeps speeding up and slowing down (I think to avoid my paparazzi antics). I got 2 fairly usable shots, wish I had time for more though.

Idea is superb - and a very nice dog. This is one case where I would suggest you open up, blur the background. As is, there's too much busy detail in the background.

Cute! I wish the dog had been in focus instead of the driver- it would have heightened the chauffeur feel.

this would be a top-10 if the dog and door were also in focus. But still a neat shot.

Picture would have improved a lot for me should the dog had been in focus. Nice concept though.

probably would've been better if the dog's face was more focused than the driver.

The dog is begging to be in focus.

Would liked to have seen the dog in focus. Since he looks like he's got a smile on his face it would have made it look like he was in charge.

Very original! A pity the dog isn't in focus as well, his expression is great!
