Submitter's name:	Kyle Jeffery
Title:	Always Faithful
Gear used:	OM-2 + 85-250mm f5 + Winder 2
Aperture:	f8
Shutter speed:	Approx. 1/500
Film used:	Fuji Neopan 400
Technical information:	Image was cropped slightly to remove a portion of the woman standing near the Marine (still visible in upper-right). Of the several photos I took of the pair, this had the least background clutter (people).
Subject information:	I saw this US Marine and his dog-in-training (Molly) at a local classic auto show. I saw this as a great opportunity to take some non-vehicle photos, and I ended up liking this photo more than those of the cars that day.

Lovely shot, very funny. I once read a comic in a newspaper in which dogs were drawn resembling their owners a lot, I guess this picture could well have stood model for that! ;)

Good capture of the moment, Kyle. The digital file can use a little work with the levels command and a little unsharp mask. That said, I like the image, and I am in debt to the Corps.

I would have titled it "Otto". Do you suppose the guy is a Sgt? Maybe he has a finny name? Yeah, I know they aren't Marines, but......... Fun Picture. I would probably have zipped up the contrast and sharpened a bit to give it more punch. but the tale is well told as it is.
