Damn this is good. My favorite of the three. Even with so much to look at the subject demands attention. Everything in the scene fits. -Doug

Difficult to decide between this and the next. But if I have to choose, I think this one is just marginally better, mainly because of the man's determination to stay on the sidewalk, no way is he going to scoop the poop. I like it - a lot.

The empty road in #1 and this subject - perfection but we have to shoot what we get and I like them both - Debi

I would like to see Bresson predict when the dogs going to poo, you have one up on him now Tommy:-)

I think it was Cartier-Bresson who spoke of seeing ahead, e.g.: man with umbrella walking toward puddle. I couldn't see ahead to this event nor were there any random people around who might have presented a photo moment. That's what I mean by "luck". -tv

As pure as the driven snow a:-) And stop talking about luck as some would have held off shooting until this bloke got out of the frame. You made your own luck here mate.

Thanks Brent and Rod. This was one of those totally lucky captures setting up to shoot this street when the man and his dog suddenly sprang from the building entrance and filled the frame perfectly. I literally just clicked the shutter with a very slight framing adjustment down to barely catch the dog's feet. BTW all three of these are uncropped - inspired by Rod's ideal of photographic purity. -tv

Unbelievably good, the stretched out lead & arm is a photographic jewel, wiv some other background this would be a real ahrt picy. Would the background disappear more if this was in B&W Tommy. It works great as is though. Great picy mate.

I'm not sure if I prefer number one or number two (not referring to what the dog is doing), but like all three Tommy :-)
