Couple were as laid back as the dog - a fully intact German shorthaired pointer. Light was fantastic. Could have straightened verticals in the gimp, fussed more with the crop, but I like this photo for what it is.

Very much appreciate the comments. Didn't expect much.

What a wonderful slice-of-life image.

haha - this is fun. Like an abstract still life. Almost like the dog is meditating with the sun. Cool shot.

I like this image, a nicely seen and captured slice of life. Also like the processing very much.

You use the harsh light to your advantage, making for a strange and interesting composition. The dog seems to be floating in eternity.

An intersting street shot and the elements are nicely composed. Wish it were brighter.

One of the few entries where the photographer knows what a candid photograph is. 8

very quirky shot - love the dog and how it almost seems misplaced in the scene

Truly good monotone conversions are difficult and this is a good example of how it can positively impact an image. In this instance a technical success isn't quite the artistic success it should be. While a good candid look at an everyday moment, the subject is short of having some sort of pop or wow factor that provides the image with some impact - it's just a candid moment. While photographers can't always be in the right place at the right time with the right camera and the right lens, a little more inventive crop at the bottom would have increased the image's presentation and helped give t a sense of wow. A good solid entry into the challenge.

This has a lovely feel to it, Everyone is positioned just right for the sun to really catch them nicely. Well done.
