"This cover story by Michael Pollen argues that while we have been obsessed with eradicating germs, there are health advantages to being exposed to them. The cover shot by Hannah Whitaker of a baby being licked by a dog makes graphic the prevalence of germs in our everyday lives."
What I really like about this picture, technicalities aside, is that its just so darn cute. Like dogs plus babies just equals happiness. But what makes this picture is the excellent quality of this picture. I love how the golden brown of the dog just pops, especially when put next to the babies coral outfit, with the bright blue of the sky behind them. I also like how this picture was so perfectly captured, frozen in time. I also like how nothing really looks posed. The baby isn't smiling or giggling, or being silly. The baby is just being a baby, which I think makes this picture a little more real, while still being incredibly cute. But I do also think that it was a good choice to but a baby there being licked by the dog and not a slightly older kid, or a teenager, especially if their message is that dog licks are germy.
