    Waiting for Godot

    I spotted this encounter a while ago. The interaction was priceless. The dog is blissfully going about his own business, the owner is slightly grumpy and the lady is definitely having fun. It is a shame I lost contact with the owner as he meandered further down the street with his dog in tow.

    Very nice, but I think you were distracted by the dog that your focus was on the lower part, right side. The people's heads were a bit soft...

    I don't know Ole - I've come back to this shot several times and the only thing that doesn't fit is the dog.

    While it might have been an interesting thing to observe, that doesn't mean it will result in a strong composition. I'll be quite frank, the first time I looked at the image I didn't even notice the dog. Now that I have, I find it a distraction. The man and woman make a good focus point in the image, but the dog is just at the edge and adds nothing to the composition.

    Ole I was going to say perhaps this image should be titled 'waiting for dogot' but Manfred's comment suggest you got it right in the first place.

    Greg, I assume you know Beckett's play in which case the dog is relevant and part of the joke.
    Cheers Ole
