I got a humorous look from the dog owner. "Just spoiling him a little!!“
She was happy about being photographed and asked for the pictures to be sent to here.

this one wins the whole thing in my book - it tells us a story - it has real emotion - it's a great photo on lots of levels. You get the Digital Knight Blue (no gif associated with that title sadly).
I just read your comment as I was about to leave this message -- I was going to say, I hope you send this gal a print! I'm so happy you're going to share this with her. It's precious and any dog lover would Love to have a portrait like this! congrats
It's almost embarrassing how much I like this! So many delightful details, the dog's paw seeming to end in a human fist and we think of course it does, look at the dog, it is not a dog really. Look at the dog.
I have an inkling that this shot was set up, but it tells such a warm story, that I wouldn't care anyway. And what a perfect example of an owner looking like the pet : ) The only thing I would change is the crop. Removing the geometric shapes (especially the circle) on the left would help keep the focus of the image on the woman and her dog.
I like this "street portrait" in that you included a larger point of view to give context of the environment. Lighting looks good. You caught the different elements in this pic (great smile of the subject; the vender feeding the dog) to make this a very fun portrait to look at. One of my top picks.
