Ruby and Jane Admiring the view !  by phil_howcroft

Ruby and Jane Admiring the view !

This is me trying to be clever with my framing and title.

This is Ruby (whippet) and Jane (wife) admiring the view from one of our local civic parks.

When I say view, the view overlooks Daybrook and Arnold and is quite urban, rather than rural and their are some rather threatening rain clouds which eventually opened two hours later (just to coincide with Ruby's post tea-time walk - in which dog and man both got completely drenched !)

Anyway this is my attempt to be a bit different with my composition.

You only ever see the 'back' of Jane on my 365 as she does NOT like having her photo took

BTW : Ruby was on her lead and very eager to get to Jane , so I had two reluctant participants in this shot !!
Phil, your composition is perfect! Ruby is obliging with the ears up n down pose and your reluctant wife looks lovely as usual. (One day we will see her face) Well done on a great shot.

Great narrative Phil... I can sympathise with the 'unwilling participant' issue!

Wahey - I'm loving that composition Phil. Ruby has the ears for it!

LOL - this is a nice composition Phil - I'm loving Ruby's ears (I'm sure Jane's are nice too but can't see from here!!) you can tell she wants to up and off!
