One of these moments

This is way beyond "cute," in my humble opinion. There is a subtle poignancy to this image that I really can't put into words, so I'll just say that it strikes a chord in me. I love this composition, and I love it that the young man is glancing at the dog as the dog looks off into the distance. The only "issue" I have with this image is with the thick black border. In my opinion (again) the border negates the sense of openess of the image and the solitude and the shared moment between the subjects.

Anyone can create any kind of border and stick it on an image...but not just anyone can make a photograph like this one. My compliments.
