I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
-- Joyce Kilmer

heh! This is my second go around with voting and I did not see the title the first time. Natural motion of course - lucky you that this did not occur in the house! Funny...
The art of photography and the art of peeing...nice :) Like the color selection you've done. I imagine the dog didn't stand out very much in all the brown leaves. Lots of emotive value in the the face...aahhhhhhhh
An interesting approach to the challenge subject if only because it's such a natural image - it's what dogs do. Nicely detailed and a terrific combination of color and gray scale. Probaly not to every viewer's taste, it is a clever and unique composition. Well done.
