Francois, Eric, and Frans - Thanks.
Two great portraits. I love the first one - intense look and blurred background.
Any relation (like owner/trainer) between the woman and the dog? 
These were taken at two different locations at different times, and I knew neither of the subjects. The dog is what we call back home a "stray dog" (i.e. without any owner). But he looks smart which suggests he's cared for by the local villagers even if he doesn't have a specific owner.
