Maybe you think they are not comparable things. He may be… But not for me.
I always think a dog is a work of art. Above all, a dog with an overwhelming beauty like a borzoi which according to my tastes is the most beautiful breed that exists.
I love and admire all dogs. But there is no denying the extraordinary beauty out of the ordinary and unique of this breed…. So I’m always very happy when I have the rare opportunity to create a photo-portrait of a specimen of this breed. Especially when it comes to a long-awaited and desired dog like the one in this photo. Even his name says a lot: Unique.
