Playing Fetch

Beautiful sunny afternoon along the Tyne. Spent an hour strolling along the riverside near the mouth of the Tyne, soaking up the sunshine. I love people watching and it was the perfect afternoon for it. Everyone seemed to be out and about never mind the arctic high winds! Thanks to the man with hat and his fur ball :-)

Couldn't decide which one to put in the main album and which edit I preferred - what do you think?

Thank you all for the comments and views! Greatly appreciated as always!! Been having a few early nights and am now furiously playing catch up with all your awesome shots!

January treasure hunt - Hobby
Definitely this one! It's a great shot. Well done. Love the silhouettes. And his pointing while the dog runs the wrong way!

@rich57 Thanks! It made me laugh, I think he was still bending down to pick up the ball and dog ran off in pure excitement :-)
January 22nd, 2012  
Yep that's a tough one - think I prefer the sky on the other one and his looking in the distance is great but this one is lovely without the pylon and Richard's comment has put a new edge on it! :)

Excellent. Nicely seen.
January 22nd, 2012  
Awesome pic!!!
January 22nd, 2012  
Excellent silhouettes and colors.
January 22nd, 2012  
Love this one, silhouette works so well with that golden sky!
January 22nd, 2012  
Fav - I LOVE this! I can't believe I'm the first to fav it, to be honest with you.
January 22nd, 2012  
@pwallis Lol, thanks Paula! Well, what can I say - maybe you've just shamed them into it? ;-)
January 22nd, 2012  
@pwallis you know, when I took this I did think "Paula would like this"!! isn't it funny how our eyes are influenced by what other people have shown us!
January 22nd, 2012  
@bmnorthernlight haha! I'm the same when I'm roaming around as well. I think it's a great thing, because you end up shooting scenes you normally never would, simply because you're excited to show someone your find:)
January 22nd, 2012  
Love the sky on the one and it says hobby more
January 22nd, 2012  
Both are lovely, but this one also tells a story and is the more unusual shot. Love the silhouettes and that hazy, amazing sky! :-)
January 22nd, 2012  
Aw lovely shot of happy dog and owner. Cool lighting too
January 22nd, 2012  
Looks like he's lost control of his little dog. Quite amusing and a good silhouette.
January 22nd, 2012  
Definitely this one - I love the action and the silhouette of that man tells you so much! Plus the dog is hilarious! I bent down to pick Monty's hoop up in the park this morning and got prodded in the bottom by a labrador that crept up behind me!
January 22nd, 2012  
@judithg Thanks so much for the fav Judtih! that little fur ball was just so funny! kept running off in the wrong direction before the ball was thrown. Lol, the image of that labrador sneaking up on you is hilarious
January 22nd, 2012  
I love the contrast between the silhouettes and the sky - excellent shot.
You could make a really cool looking 'wind vane' pic using this technique!
January 22nd, 2012  
not easy to decide which one I prefere: both have something very nice... I think I prefere the one with the pylons
January 22nd, 2012  
Love the tones and the silhouettes,fabulous capture
January 22nd, 2012  
I love this shot. I spent an hour on the beach watching kids and their dogs and my shot yesterday included a man and hs dog! Grewat silhouettes and doggy movement. Fave.
January 22nd, 2012  
@moirab Thanks for the fav Moira! I loved your man and dog too! It's stunning :-)
January 22nd, 2012  
@sixthblade oh, I like the idea of a weather vane! That guy had the best silhouette ever :-) Thanks for the comment!
January 22nd, 2012  
@johnnyfrs Thanks so much, John!
January 22nd, 2012  
@woot Thank you Davide! It's really interesting to hear everyone's view on this!
January 22nd, 2012  
@jenirainbow Thank you so much jeni! I did really like this one! The light was fabulous all afternoon
January 22nd, 2012

January 23rd, 2012  
Both are nice, but I like the simplicity of this background the best.
January 23rd, 2012  
The Fulmar shot is special too.
January 23rd, 2012

Great capture of the moment.
January 23rd, 2012

January 23rd, 2012  
gorgeous silhouette and sky colours - where along the Tyne? for my sins I lived in Sunderland for a couple of years
January 23rd, 2012  
beautiful golden tones 7 i love photos that tell a story.
January 24th, 2012  
I think you picked the best of the three. The other man pic is great too, except that the dog is obscured...this is so simple and beautifully composed. I LOVE sillhouette shots!
January 27th, 2012  
This is brilliant!
