Sadness Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is the way some dogs end their days in my country!This one sleeps under a bus stop and since me and my girlfriend found him we´re trying to take care of him, but this was the face he gave us when we came closer to feed him one day! Just sad!

Amusante photo. L'attitude humaine prêtée au chien qui semble lire la note que lui a laissée son maître ajoute à l'intérêt de cette photo.

Le chien et son apparent désespoir étant le sujet principal j,ai fait un WS pour centrer sur le chien et plonger les ombres dans le noir.

Que pena ele nao ter dono, e lindo. O preto e branco foi uma grande escolha.

nice idea to use B&W !!!
it has sterngthened the impression of the picture...
also the shadows made the background 'un-monotone" !!!
bravo , Bruno !

So sad. You title, story, photo and chose of colors really fit together. I might thing you could strengten the sad feeling by, in your composition, had the dog a little to the left from the center, so the dog was looking down to the closest corner. Just an idea, but in the other way I like that you have catch all the shadow too.

Estará o cão a tentar ler algo, ou apenas com uma crise de nostalgia!!!
Parabéns, expressão muito bem captada.
A cena a P/B enriqueceu a foto a meu ver.

Parabéns! Os animais não falam mas a expressão captada diz-nos tudo.

What a wonderfull sencative photo Bruno. Your story emphysisis this even more. Pepole are very good at giving animals a human charachter. I can't help but doing that when i se this picture. It is like he is missing a loved one. He has lost soemthing very presious to him. If he could, i belevie he would have cried. The paper in front of him also adds to this whole feeling of lost. It loks like it couls be a photo of that presious thing, only turned up side down.

I'm glad you and your girlfriend takes care of him and i'm sure he apriciates it. don't have stray dogs like this isn Sweden.

Very well done Bruno.

Parabéns pela foto, e por tratares de dar uma melhor vida ao animal.

O preto e branco resultou muito bem.

Very touching moment - I wouldn't change a thing. Our cat disappeared once and I went to the animal shelter to look for him. The abandoned animals there remind me of this guy.

I add this to my pictionary theme.
