I was looking at all the thumbs Jason posted in the ribbon winner thread, and out of all of those, this remains my favorite of the bunch. Not only does it display exceptional skill at capturing light, but at capturing the moment, too.

I meant to comment on this when I favourited it, but didn't get to it. I just wanted to thank you for sharing such a truly beautiful image. There is nothing, not one teeny thing, about this image that I don't think is just right. The DOF and horizontal layers. The texture of the web-laden grass. The perfect backlighting of the silhouettes (and the breath coming out of the man's mouth). And of course, the subjects themselves, man and dog, focused on each other in a timeless relationship. Just perfect.

Looks like Johnny Rotten in his retirement days... Iconic image. That Common is a visual language in itself.

This is really dramatic. I like it. :)

Awesome shot, a well deserved win. Ok, ok I am very biased when it comes to dogs, but still a fantastic shot! I love the moodiness that you have captured so well.

This is gorgeous, BUT the foreground looks like artificial fog made in Photoshop. I wouldn't have mentioned it if you had said it was created in your explanation of the image.

Wonderful use of the lens to create foreground bokeh that imitates the background fog.

great silhouettes and tones, really nicely done! /9

beautiful! the webs in the grass make it look like everything is draped with strands of diamonds. gorgeous range of tones and the composition is great. this is my choice for the blue ribbon.
Post actions
ribbon pick from me - really like the story element
Post actions
nice work! could be the cover on Old Yeller or somthing!
Post actions
Layers upon layers, worlds upon worlds.
Post actions
Very nice. I love the composition of this taking your eye from the silhouettes right out into the field.
Post actions
Wonderful with the mist and all. Incredibly clarity on the man and the dog, too. A lovely moment to capture!
Post actions
Really cool shot! nicely done!
Post actions
Nice! Love the lighting and early morning mist feel to this, and how alert the dog is.
Post actions
Love the mist! Nicely isolated subjects. 9

Terrific shot. I love the mood the fog creates and it seems to emphasize the connection of the dog and owner. Wonderfully done.

i like this but i think it would be better with more of the bottom cropped off.

This is just beautiful and one of my top picks I love it well done

OH geeeez. This was made for a duo. Fantastic. Love the hazy mist and the silhouettes. Beautifully done. After a 2nd pass, this gets my only 10. Bravo. I hope it does well for you. It's brilliant.
Post actions
Fantastically composed silhouettes. The steel-blue duotone is also a good choice.
Post actions
I love this one. The fog supports a very moody feeling. The tones are just right.
Post actions
this is quite possibly a perfect photograph - toning, dof, light, and composition all work to evoke the mood here. -10
Post actions
lovely atmosphere. a slightly tighter crop on the bottom (just below the dogs legs) would make for a stronger composition. 8
Post actions
Simply wonderful. I am not a dog person - my typical bias leans towards cats, but this is just excellent. Bumping up.
