 I really wanted to raise the bar from my dissapointing first submission. But, with buying a house I really didn't have the time I wanted to accomplish exactly what I had in my head.

This shot was an imprompt idea that I got while my wife and I were walking our Alaskan Malamute along the Highline Canal one evening.

It is not great, but I hope you enjoy it.

I think your figures need to be darker.

Interesting angle, bu I find lower part is a bit too confused and I can see really too much details on the women for a silhoutette.

I love how the light actually "sticks" in the dog's fur. Great silhouette.
