I was driving by the sea and saw them walking. Drove in front of them and found a good spot to shoot them. It was quite windy so the sea was more interesting. Quite happy to get the white waves exactly behind them. This picture was published on the back page of the newspaper I work at. It was a 5-column picture so it was quite large :)

This image is so nicely balanced. The rough waters, and the bundled up walker combine with the darker frame to bring out the feeling of the wether. I also love the dog's attention while his person seems to not notice. So many things I enjoy about this image - very well done!
I think this would be more compelling if it were cropped closer to the person - with the person just about to walk out of the frame but the dog resisting it would make an interesting story.
I like the shot..but not the corny title, but i wont take off for that...this shot gives a feeling of serenity...but i wish someone was sitting on the bench, it would have added a lot to the composition.
Very good example of showing a subject surrounded by immense scenery. Very good use of DOF to create a beutiful picture that, nevertheless, directs the eye toward the main subject(s).
Nice reflective mood ... would be even nicer if you placed them (dog and friend) a little bit more off center than this, as for example, crop just about an inch before the dog.
