The Last Nor-East'r #2

Comments/Critiqus always appreciated.

I like this composition. It is intriguing and beautiful. Two elements compete for attention here. The gray poodle of melting snow in the foreground and the dog in the background. This could be a cold and lonely scene but the way I interpret it is as follow: the gray patch symbolizes the approaching end of winter and the dog in the distance represents that which is familiar and comforting. Two signs of hope in a bleak landscape?
