Hell I agree with you. A man, his dog and a boat. What more do you want? Nicely captured.

He's got everything he needs - a skiff, a bike, and most importantly, a dog.

I love these canal boats! I lived in England when I was a teen a would often ride my bike 80 miles roundtrip to Stratford Upon Avon and I have since daydreamed of this lifestyle of living on or vacationing on one these canal boats. I have since lived on a sailboat for a couple of years. Oh yeah, the photo! You have done well with the composition/cropping of this shot considering how difficult it must have been working with such a long subject. I would have liked for this shot to be taken while the boat was in a narrow canal. That would have more completly told the story and I'm not sure that most voters will figure out the reason for the odd shape of the boat. The lighting was not the best with the sun directly overhead and therefore the colors would probably have been a little more vibrant with the sun at a lower angle. Regardless, you have managed to capture the essence of the lifestlye of this "couple's" home well enough to bring back vivid memories for me. Thanks. 7
