This image was an instant fave. The golden light and warm tones, the long, soft shadows across the path, and the gorgeous depth of field all work together to make this a brilliantly managed image. I do find the flare at the bottom of the frame a little distracting, and think that the image would benefit from a slight crop at the bottom. There is also a long branch reaching down and appears to curve in the left frame (it could be a branch + a weed together) ... although the top of the branch with the few leaves adds depth to the image, the bottom of the branch with the perceived curve is somewhat distracting from the true hero of this image -- the adorable little dog walking away, but still paying attention to us with his flipped back ears. Just an all-around wonderful capture. Nicely done! ~ illona
