This is why we always walk Zoe on her leash. She had just spotted a pig in this small dam. She managed to drag me this far before i could stop her and by then the pig was long gone (thank goodness - they are big, ugly and mean!) She wasn't convinced that he'd gone...
I thought this was probably an example of Rückenfigur, or figure seen from behind, contemplating the view before them - a means by which the viewer can identify with the image's figure and then absorb the scene from their veiwpoint.
