A rather ordinary late afternoon stroll at the local park when this scene unfolded. I loved how everything is seemingly disconnected and yet wonderfully coherent. =)

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it̢۪s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It̢۪s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it̢۪s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it̢۪s the best way to protect your and the other̢۪s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.

Terrific light! Really like the composition; the serene bird, the dog clearly wanting to run off towards the bird, and the dogwalker determinedly ignoring them both. And not even noticing that wonderful beam of sunlight spotlighting the bird. Can't be a photographer ;-)

this photo really works for me, the composition is just right, the ray of sun on the heron, the way the dog looks as if its pulling towards the bird, and it all works perfectly in B&W, a big well done from me.

Lots of gravity and tension here. I had to view it a few times to appreciate it. Bumping it a point.

Really love it, the light, the birdy, the dogwalking - 10 from me

Actually, I find this very much connected. Splendid image.

Great shot. The dog wants off the leash to get at the egret in the sun's spotlight. Great title and great capture. Nice tones. Well done.

Good capture. I bet the dog would love to get that bird. Nice softness to areas and I like the burned out ray of light.

This is so beautiful with so much happening that is made to be subtle by the sunlight. Back to comment after already giving this a 9

Love the spotlight on the bird. I feel this photograph. It's alive.

Almost drew me in, but then spat me out. I went away shaken but not really stirred.

Just kidding; it's very unusual and seemed to demand my second look. That's always welcome. Thank you.

I really like this! The timing with the sun beam and the bird is simply impeccable.

All three seem to be in their own world without any thought of the other.

love the glare here!

Oh wow - the juxtaposition between the bird and the girl. I love it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great catch! Perfect placement of all your characters, love how the dog is nearly hidden by the brush, and that beam of light is icing on the cake.

Beautiful Contre Jour shot. Strange how the one and only sun beam is hitting the bird but I like it a lot. 8

black&white+blur+bad exposure=art? not to me

It reminds me a little of Louis' work. The craftmanship serves the photograph and not the other way around. The way it should be.

Oh come ON! A sunbeam ON the egret???? This is just too marvelous. It is amazing how the jogger and the dog - arguably the predominant subjects - are second to the first two elements. Beautiful parallel lines.
