Zeuszen's comment below makes sense to me from the technical point of view, but the composition is sooooo perfect that I have to add this to my favorites now. Just think, it's over two years since you took this picture and I have just now discovered it thanks to the "Favorite all time dpc photo" thread in the forums. Xion posted your shot. And I'm happy he did.
Not exactly a technical tour-de-force (the exposure is beginning to wash out the sky and unable to render tones in the brightest margins/the horizon has a slight counter-clockwise tilt/the crop/framing is tight enough above the woman's head to distract from her grand and solitary splendour), but what a hilarious and surreal capture!
Although the casual, snap-shot manner contributes some charm to this image, a slight corrective rotation is, IMHO, needed to make it credible.
Nice! This is the kind of picture that I probably would not hang on my wall, but which I could see in a museum, or which could inspire a painting...it's different, and it not only fits the challenge, but it gives a unique feeling of its own. I would probably have increased the contrast a bit more, but other than that, a 10.
Is dog walking the habit? A bit shaky on the theme to me. The woman is blurry, which is a problem as a primary subject, and the dog seems to blend in to the background too well. These two issues really undermine the strength of the subjects.
Nice photo. Not getting the habit here, I guess titles do make a difference :( I really like the setup though - very sharp with good blacks and whites. 7
