OCOLOY Day 323: A walk in the woods

I took my camera for a walk in the woods this afternoon and towards the end of my walk I caught up with this couple who were walking their dog. It was raining quite hard but neither they nor the dog seemed much bothered.

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

Pops nicely when viewed on black...

[Jasper]

Lovely sense of texture from the fallen leaves.

[Domenico Dodaro]

With 11 full years of personal experience as a dog walker no matter the weather, I confess I am hailing with a sense of relief my dog's recent reluctance to go out in the rain... and also my camera is not particularly fond of wet weather! Great tones and textures

[Taffy]

Great textures in this scene, and lovely balance.

[Annie D]

Looks like a wonderful place to stroll - I love the textured carpet of fallen leaves

[Lisa Malecki]

very nice on black

[Junko Y]

I love how you've captured the intimacy within the bigness of nature setting.

[Dianne]

A really neat image.

[Jane Pittenger]

Yes...I really like the feeling of supporting each other

[Kathy]

So much to look at but my eyes always come back to the people in the middle.

[gloria jones]

Great candid, leading line, composition

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent as always, great composition

[Joan Robillard]

Sometimes being out is too preferable to being inside,

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Very nice Richard but you know I do prefer colour especially at this time of year.

[Dyan Stevens]

Love their closeness and intimacy.

[Richard Sayer]

@shepherdmanswife I know you do Chantal but my project for the year requires me to shoot B&W sooc so colour is not an option for me...only 43 more days before the project is finished!

[Margo Sayer]

Smart dog...walking in the shelter of his people! 'Dog is a mans best friend' applies equally t'other way round.

[Kate]

Excellent comp and texture - I can almost hear the leaves crunching!

[Scott Houston]

Very layered. Nice.

[Sally Ings]

Lovely timeless capture

[Walks @ 7]

Can't agree with @salza more, this is so just perfect. Fav!
