I like this, Roly - been doing a brief browse and getting depressed by a few of the shots posted, but this one has restored my faith. Lovely plays of light throughout the scene and I agree with your line "I really liked how the shadows of the clouds emphasized the frostbitten meadow in the foreground".

Don;t normally critique dog/cat shots but that's a lovely animal and he does add depth and perspective to the shot. The slope adds a nice touch and breaks up the scene very well. Lovely shot.

You seem to have a very obedient dog there Roly! What a great looking shot of him looking into the rising sun with the highlights on the slope as well. The sky behind looks rather ominous and foreboding - adds a great dimension to the shot. Great job.

Hi Roland,

This shot really appealed to me. It looks like the dog is really enjoying the beauty of the sunrise as much as you! I like the sunlight illuminating his fur. It's just gorgeous.

Give your dog a puppy treat for me! Lisa

Excellent control of the different lighting in this image. i like the diagonal lines in the image and the the layers they create. The placement of the dog in the frame is perfect.

I love the backlighting on the retriever and the contrast between foreground light and background darkness. The viewer can't but help look along the sight line of the dog to the mountains in the background.
Thanks for sharing

This shot is just amazing, I love it! You made perfect use of the light. The division of this shot into diagonal thirds and the placement of your dog in the lower-right third of the frame is aesthetic perfection; so the progression from shade to brightness and blue to gold.

Enter this one in competitions.
