Hello Joe. To be honest, I can't say this is one of my prefered subjects, BUT... very good contrast of colours: the strong saturation of yellows draw our attention and stand out on the dark wet pavement (the small reflections of the water are an interesting "source" of light and add to the overall atmosphere). The title is perfect for me. Whatever men's pretentions might be, if you ask the dog he would probably confirm you that this is his best friend. Funny observation.

Nice contrast of the colours Joe, and the composition is really effective too. Congratulations on the end result.

First, thanks for the note. Second thanks for this excellent photography. I Like the saturated colors, the grainy texture of the road, it's one with impact, you just can't miss it and I'm happy I didn't miss it.

An interesting piece of history dramatically presented. Did you increase the saturation of the yellow or is it naturally this bright?

Great shot, Joe. Ordinarily I would not like to see a strong light like the reflection unless it is the main subject as light items seem to draw the attention of the eye away from the main subject. But I guess this photo proves that, every rule is made to be broken. The saturated yellow saves the day and you end up with a very good phoot. Great that you could see this in your mind's eye. Thanks for sharing.T

je n'avais fait attention à cette photo mais j'aime beaucoup le contraste de la borne avec le bitume et la réverberation de l'éclairage dessus

I like your wet shot Joe! I'm kinda fond of hydrants, and this is a good shot with excellent colour contrast! Tfs, Jay
