This has some subtle things about it that are very nice - the dogs front legs are off the ground, the mirrored guy on the path in the background, the dog in motion in precise focus. The man standing still in the foreground oof.
This is a wonderful photograph! So unexpected, so unusual, and yet so absolutely right. Two human figures forced into anonymous irrelevance (one by the tyranny of distance, one by the indifference of the frame); one has no arms, the other has but chooses to keep them furled; both of them apparently stationary while pointed on a north-south heading. And one wee dog rocketing through the scene in an exuberant west-east dash, as if in a mad act of insurrection, or fleeing the scene of a crime. If Elliott Erwitt saw this I'm sure he would laugh out loud and give you a big pat on the back. Perhaps an autographed copy of this. Best I can do is a 10.5 score as my top choice in the challenge, a sincere thank you, and one of these things, which makes a very fine doorstop:
Interesting ! Really like this shot, not certain if it is the dog running off at an angle or the person that I find interesting. Maybe a combination of both and the fact that the head is missing. You probably know that a lot of people will pass this by. It made me look and think about this photo and at the end of the day that is all you can hope people will do. Originally gave you an 8 but I am bumping this up to a 9 and I don't give out many of those, trust me.
He turned his back on Blanche. He was tired of her disobedience. And Blanche? Well, she could care less at the moment. She had spotted a squirrel and took off running.
That is what tale this photo speaks to me:-) I wonder if she was forgiven when she returned. Interesting how the characters are 'adorned' in different colors...the dog is white and the man in black, but that of course is another tale:-)
