Thanks Konstantin:-) I'm in two minds about whether the face would improve this or not. Her eyes were just fixed on the door the whole time I was there.

Want to let here one more comment - I think it is very easy to shot candid. Whenever you are, on the street, in the shop, on the party etc ... just take your camera and push the button. And you have a candid. But the real problem is to do a good one. Something special must be on the picture - an interesting face expression, an accidental but second-precise captured action etc ... Some times it is difficult to explain, but you feel it ! Your three pictures are very different, but all they do have something special, which take them out of the row. This one is my favorite. Konstantin

Rod, I'm coming from the end of gallery - and now, after have seen all three your pictures I don't know which one is better. We all should learn by you how to shoot candid pictures. Excellent picture with so many interesting details here ... “I wish we could see a bit of her face” - not sure I share this ... Konstantin

Got a big laugh out of me mate :-) Reminds me of a real dog stroller we got my former girlfriend's dog Pete when he was too sick to walk much anymore. We'd push him a few miles down a path around a lake and he loved it. The response from passersby was a mix of smiles and appreciation for us getting a sick dog out and about and and frowns looking at us like we were freaks. I met the frowns with the worst stinkeye look I could manage. ~Brent

The outline of the woman's boney body helps carry this one with the eye following and hoping for something better but ultimately just finds the dog. Very funny. -tv

This is too funny but then I am looking at that 'wicked' tatoo and it leaves to imagination what she looks like.

Thanks Carole & Aamm:-)It's funny Carole she never seemed to take her eyes of the door with Heritage written onit. It's a sort of bank we call building societies, you can bank there & get home loans etc. No cropping Aamm on this or the bird picy but I did crop a bit of the left side in the B&W puffer one.

I wish we could see a bit of her face - they say dogs and owners start to look alike! That's quite a tat on her arm - gives another clue as to her personality - Fun picy Rod! :-D CJ

This photo is wrong on so many levels :) Good light and composition (assuming not much cropping has been done).

Thanks Chris:-) The poor dog looks embarrassed a:-)

You and Mereana live in a seriously messed up place. No wonder you have so much fun. This picture is so funny and yet you've done everything right. Penny Street
