As I was walking my dog around a lake, it decided to try to see what fish it could find. It ran down on to this floating dock, and stared in to the water. I tried to captured the moment as well as I could. Hope you like it.

Sparse, yet oddly compelling image Halgier - although the houses visible on the far shore detract a little from sense of isolation which attracted me from the thumnail view.

Interesting detail of the dog where the pier has almost disappeared and gives a look as the dog is walking on water...
I like this simple compo in the bw setting with the overall grey setting.

The atmosphere is not very warm with all that grey color, but the image of the dog (you dog) at the end of the pier which is nearly blending with the water makes a very nice catch.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hello halgeir,
This is pleasant minimalism!
Nice atmosphere is captured on this looking like a foggy day...
Maybe you had to bring home a wet labrador...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hei Halgeir
very nice shot! Total minimalism and great contrast. The sky, the water and the pier are almost invisible. Your dog gives the picture all the contrast and focus.

Great, superb, perfect.
What I like especially is panoramic view.

Hei Halgeir

Simple composition and a quite interesting photo.
But... a little too centered to my liking.
The photo looks good and all, great contrast between the pale background and your dark dog. But I feel it is simply too centered.

Hi Halgeir,
This is quite an interesting image in a surreal kind of way. I think your choice of black and white reflects the weather conditions. It's obviously very dull but I believe that an increase in contrast could be beneficial to the overall appearance here.
Your composition is really good. Using the dog as a focal point in the image has worked well because, without that, the pier itself would become kind of invisible against the lake.

Hugs,
Tony

Hi Halgeir, I like this B&W conversion although I may have applied a little more burning in some areas and increased level. The stance of the dog on the pier is , well just great. Well done.

Hi Halgeir

Nice comp and very sharp. What a grey day. You have really set an ominious mood here. Well done.
Ben

Hi Halgeir,

beautiful composition and B/W choice

Well done!
