Ahoy Zdenek:
Welcome to TE. What a great start with this wonderful picture so full of life. The scene seems very spontaneous. And the black and white works well. The white leg?? is a bit distracting but I think it could be cloned out or cropped off easily. Hope to see some more good work soon, regards Daniel

Bonjour & Welcome on TE.

Great photo Zdenek!

I especially like the humour you got here. The two dogs waiting for something falling from his mouth maybe?
Also technically very well achieved, with a good strong contrast. Only that white "thing" on the foreground is disturbing a little...

Hi Zdenek, welcome to TE, this I think is a very nice image, I am a big fan of images with dogs, and this one is no exception. I like the humour of it, not only the dogs, but also the woman is also staring at him, maybe she is also hoping to get some food ;-) The place looks like it's in the country. I agree that the leg in the front is a distraction, other than that it's a very good image. Please post more.

Ha ha! Very good. The black and white really makes this shot seem Eastern European (well, I suppose the Czech republic is really Middle Europe). It's funny in an almost bleak way.

Agree about leg in foreground... wish you hadn't included it.

oh, i love this shot. composition is excellent, the grays are rich. hummm... i would probably get rid of that piece of leg in the foreground. other than that, a superb piece of life here.

hey, we´re waiting for your hospital shot, Zdenek !
