The restored dog

...

See that stool under the table? I've got one of those!

 

Sorry, I know that's useless to you, but you don't see them here very often.

 

Very nice color balance, by the way.

...looks very real. Karl

Fantastic take

Very beautiful and artistic composition.

I love everything about this image!!

I like the fact that the drawings and the dog are all looking at the camera and all have similar expressions. Also the white of the dog, the mans shirt and the two drawings make like an arch bringing the whole work together.

Een fraaie opname, Olaf! Een prettig weekend, Ruud.

Very nice light and composition. Well done.

Fabulous image. Like a vintage print with humor. Gorgeous color, amazing depth. I will rate this one.

What a nice scene and beautiful light. This good be everywhere. And the dog knows...

Our blood isn't made for titanium coffee-shops on Mars. This is France! And Russel, our enjoying the shot and it's diffrent aspects is very far from useless! ;)

 

With the older AF NIKKOR 70-210 1:4 I'm kneeling on the opposite of the street, the N7, crossing the town. I did ask (seldom doing that) permission for a shot of the dog, so relaxed the boss did continue his work. The next few minutes were mine. Haha.. later on a pretty lady brought him a chair for repair. Asking her, how many chairs would follow and if she wasn't coming for him.., was my biggest mistake during those French weeks. However, the whole scene, the atmosphere of that spot, was making me asking that. Just like idea's for romantic movies do start.

 

During those eleven weeks about eleven (no not them!)persons did recieve my email-adress. Only two did respond.. Haha.. this duo also. The rest, maybe thinking I can't photograph, didn't react at all. So for spontanious streetshots isn't a market. :)

 

I do confess I was rather confused by your reactions on this image. However, that being the reality, does mean I will " visit you all back..!"

 

Russell.., Karl.., Mikel.., Michael.., R.., Vincent.., Ruud.., Claude.., Less Anneke.. (?) See you! Regards, Olaf.

beautiful tone and mood. it did bring us back to some good old days in different culture's momery. besides the dog is interesting maybe you do have a close-up photo on him? best regards.

Nice work ! Good composition and colours !

About that specific dog: I do trust you..!! However, how about your neighbours..?! :)

Nice scene Olaf.good colors , dof and srory... and I forgot the dog.... adds a lot to the whole.( the lighted window? on the L side is attracting the eye from the scene, the composition is good without it as well.

You are right about the mirror on the left. It's on the edge.. Haha.. now I'm focussed on it for ever! The jumping boy is going to remove it! Thanks for your visit in a hurry..! Hillary or Obahma..?! :)

Really fantastic shot !!. Regards.

This is so very nice.  Just wonderful.
