Wildlife / Animals nominee

Nala, the 3-year-old Australian Shepherd posing on a quiet backroad in Missouri. I decided to take this photo because I had taken photos of Nala on this road in every season so far. On this day, it was snowing very hard, and I thought it would be perfect for Nala. The snow matches her crisp blue eye perfectly, and the road lines line up with her gorgeous tan points, making the composition of this image just perfect!
