very good!

exceptional!

Great photo. Nice colors. From what distance You take a shot?

Oh my ~ such a stunning capture. It's as if it's looking into your soul. I like the treatment you gave this, too.

Thank you Mikhail and Lisa, glad you like this shot. One of my favs too :)

Mikhail, I was around 10-15 meters from its herd when i took this.

belle composition.

I'd actually agree with Soreks. I've become a big fan of the square crop and I can see it working here. Yes, you'd lose the trees, but it would put focus on the dog and its reflection, which really is the most interesting part of the picture. (As for the leash... I also think it would be stronger without--and technically it wouldn't be THAT hard to touch out. But I am with you. I don't tend to Photoshop things out just for the sake of aesthetics if it misrepresents the real scene.)

Thanks Jim. If you both feel the square format would be better here, I'll try it out one day. Problem is that this is low quality scan of a print. Cropping would degrade the (low, I admit) quality even further. I'm still using film cameras a lot and to obtain the best digitals from slides/negatives, perhaps I should buy a neg scanner.

belle composition, j'aime l'espace que tu laisses en hait de la photo, cela donne une superbe profondeur, et avec en cadeau le reflet du chien, parfait

I like the lines created by the full-size (not square), makes him look impatient to get going to wherever that leads. The leash did throw me for a bit, but I too like my photos straight from the cam.

What a stunning capture ~ a very unique perspective. The reflection totally makes it for me. :)

très poétique, pas loin d'un man ray. j'aime beaucoup.

Sencillamente espectacular. La composición en general desprende coherencia, no hay ningun elemento que distraiga o moleste. Enhorabuena. Saludos

Merci beaucoup, cela fait plaisir.

What a beautiful scene, and so nice in b&w. A perfect composition and lovely reflection, too.

beau trucage, photo amusante, j'aime bien

une bonne idée, surtout de ne pas avoir nettoyer,cela donne du vécu a ta photo.

Just bought a Nikon Coolscan 4000, this is one of the first old slides I scanned. This is circa 1979 taken at Lake Tahoe in California.

awesome quality. sounds like a fun new toy

beautifull colors not very original but i like

Great shot, Clyde. Just goes to show that some of the older gear in the right hands could/can make a pretty fearsome image. Love the detail and the depth of field from foreground to sky.

Very nice! I like old cameras. This is Real Photography! Excellent scanner result. I wish I had one.
