A dog with nostalgia...this sounds like a child's story...i like how your note elaborates the moment; even a little dog feels the wrenching turbulence of life in contemporary beijing.

I'm such a dog person- that little guy is so cute in his colorful little sweater. He does seem to have a sad expression though, just like he's wish he could live there again. I like how in the compo you have the child behind and the child up front, but they're left anonymous to give the attention to the dog. Good capture- interesting scene.

你好!
非常好的focus on the dog, 和美麗的color. The leg on the left side may be a bit obstructuve but it helps give the dynamic feeling u wanted, I think. Nice crisp, concise record of daily life. TFS.

Hi Mingfang. a very nice photo, I like how you have the dog framed between the legs... and the poor little dog looks lost and confused on the wall. nice focus and I like th colors on this dog, with with little sweeter... that is funny.

Another special composition from you, Mingfang. Love the position of the dog, the cropped "human" legs" and the colors.
Great work as always.
Bets wished from the |UK!

这风景很有意思。
你的眼目跟狗子一样地高
要让我想一想这个狗子实际上
想什么的。

中国风景跟日本一样的很茶色，阴暗。
几乎都没有特别眼抓住的彩色，
可是中国的服装色彩很明朗。我很喜欢那样的。

在北京很少下雪，是吧？
在名古屋下了雪到昨天，今天我没有出去外边呢。
可是北京冬天气温很厉害，零下十度！？
我还喜欢下雪的冬天呢。哈哈哈哈

Dear Mingfang, I am truly impressed with you collection of photos with dogs, I think many are just fantastic, including this photo.
What a contrast of ruined building. Your description adds another dimention to this pic, a piece of melancholy where and older person (dog in this case) revisits his place of childhood.
Without it I would look at as a prick supervisor (the dog) tells his construction workers (the poeple seem to wear construction clothes) not to be lazy and get back to work.

I really like your photography Mingfang.

Also the dog is sad!! And worry. Although he wears a "nice dress" ! A great pic of an event.
