Man's companion Photo

Photographer’s Note

This man was traveling on the train with his dog from Waterloo to Guildford. It was a color picture that I thought black and white suited much better. Also cropped a little bit and with the help of a friend blurred the background a bit.. Oh my, I altered it quite a bit.

is it a french bulldog???
i like this photograph
but to be honest your blur via digital postprocessing kind of spoils it the next time you if you want a blurry background or a bokeh... use a larger focal length and a bigger aperture instead
HERE is a link that you might enjoy
take care :)

It's a very nice moment clicked indeed. Both the man and dog can be seen raising their foot for the next step - gives motion to the picture :)

I might want to crop the top a little further and maybe see the picture without the blur. Croping the top in my opinion might take away the very bright white on the top. I would want to crop the left a bit.
