If I had not joined the Navy and left New York, that would have been the boundary of my life...

Greg, that's because I was out that day with my camera AND my dog, she kinda draws attention.

Richard, these kids are your basic after school high school kids. There's always college to look forward to.

Well done, Jack. I like the context provided by the background.

Doodles do that! My Holly is definitely a chick magnet!

BTW: we now have a litter of rescue puppies that I suspect and hope may be doodles. Goldendoodle Litter

Thanks Sergio. The background does add to the image, actually I suppose, really makes the image.

It is a good image, Jack -- but I think it needs a bit of rotation to the right??? I feel my head is higher at the right a little bit (or was it the red pill???)

[flashback]

Thanks Iz and yes, you're right about the 'tilt'. I won't say it was intentional but, I prefer it as is as opposed to straightening it. Were I to do so I lose significant parts of the image plus, the tilt gives the image a bit of drama, or tension. Were it straight it loses whatever impact it may presently have.
P.S. I think it may be the red pill. Take a blue one and everything will even out as purple. Purple is always a good place :-)

It's not just the background; it's also the tilt that makes the image seem so dynamic. Such a nicely conceived and executed image!

Thanks Mike, now if I can only accomplish on the street what you do in the studio I'll be a very happy camper.
