A mans best friend
This picture was taken in Hyde Park in Sydney, this little man was walking a huge (HUGE) dog. I straight away thought I would not mess with him. I noticed that every where the man looked the dog would look as well. This is a old image at least 1 year old i have i have put a slight boarder and turned it dark sepia.

This photo immediately caught my eye and intrigued me enough to click. Then I was rewarded with the diptych. I love each photo separately, but adore them together. Great candid shot and way to play with the focus; it really emphasizes the blur in the line of who owns who.
David Petranker replied
Wow Kat what a wonderful comment, not only have you honoured me by looking at my image, but you have also broken it down, thank you it means a lot. I had fun with this shot, and i totally agree you can see in this shot who is boss, i also have another shot which i have placed on line which is the other side of the photo.
Many thanks again kat
