Winter solitude

At Lakeside park. This is my husband and my dog. There are many

times my subjects!

Because the title of your photo is SOLITUDE; I would crop out your dog in this photo (no offense, I love dogs) then I think you'd express the concept of solitude much better...

 

Just my two cents...

Thank you for your comments. If you want to be alone a bit, you go with your dog. It is a good time and also the dog never bugs you or ask questions!!! Mado

I love this photo. I have it in my favorites. I love how the dog's color echoes that of the tree. Makes it perfect. I'd say the dog is definitely a keeper :)
