    Great shot.

    Still it's a peaty that we cannot see the leach connecting to the cart (as it is could be at the men's hand).

    Like the look and feel. Could you share a bit of technical details?

    Thanks.

    Good photo Azzaro thumb.gif

    I like how you desaturated the photo. Gives it an older country type feel to it.

    Hmmmm.....wonder if I could get my dogs to do that. Maybe even do the shopping for me too rolleyes1.gif

    Great shot! I'd also like to see that the leash is actually connected to the cart.

    Reminds me of a friend who takes his dog (a black lab) hiking, and the dog has his own harness/pack in which he carries his water & food supply & things.

    Thanks for sharing the pic!

    Hi Azzaro,

    Boy, you hit a homerun with this one. That's just a super picture.

    Take care,

    Tom

    Actually, it's unfortunate, but the photo does not tell the story the caption suggests. If this had been worked a bit - either moving around, or shooting a different instant, so that we could see that - as the caption suggests - the dogs were pulling the cart, then it would indeed work. But this way, the logical conclusion is that the guy is holding the leash with the hand we can't see, and is either pulling the cart with that same hand - or is simply walking by the cart.mwink.gif

    Maybe I missed something with this photo, but I see a man with a cart and two dogs. The dogs actually pulling the cart isn't important to me. The man taking his dogs with him when he went shopping is. As in small towns that's the "norm". At least around here. I don't know the size of this town, but that isn't important to me either. Its the memory it spurred along with the chuckle I had thinking about doing that with my dogs :D

    Azzaro catching this photo by an alley is another added bonus to me since small towns alway have alleys and the alleys are sometimes the "hot spot" in a small town. Gossip is shared there along with just a gathering of farmers talking about their crops or kids just playing. And the locals will use the back door to enter a business. Not something you see in a larger city.

    Many of my Sundays were spent in a small town in ND. Seeing this photo brought back the times I spent in the alleys and shopping "downtown" as they would say.

    Just trying to say -- a photo has a different feeling/story to each person that takes a look at it.
