Looks like a good snow fall. My dog would get hypothermia in this. Some editing as well?

k@ from Paris, France
J'adore la sensation qui se dégage de ton image : il neige et il fait froid, mais c'est tout doux... Et les couleurs légèrement surannées renforcent encore cela. Fondant !

dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
So it's doggie day today, is it? Mine's a lot warmer than yours, though lol! Amazing how they love their walks, irrespective of weather conditions. I think all dogs were doctors in their former lives and are trying to ensure that we get some exercise!
4 Dec 2008 1:02pm
@dobbino: lol that's pretty funny Rob, actually dogs LOVE snow, truly, they play in it like children...I only have 3 cats, but I use to have my German Sheppard Benny (he died of old age) and when he went out, it was magical to see him in the snow....I LOVE your puppy's nose lol
Paul K from Bretagne, France
Le post-traitement est vraiment justifié ici et puis j'aime beaucoup la composition avec le lampadaire cachant le passant et son chien saisis juste au bon moment.
4 Dec 2008 1:23pm
@Paul K: Merci beaucoup Paul, j'apprecie ta visite ;)

Oh Lorraine, I love this one so much! The snow, the grain and the dog! At first I thought he was walking alone, but I see an extra pair of legs there :)

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
What a cool shot. Love the snow coming down and almost obliterating the dog. A real classic shot. Love it.

Vink from Grasse - French riviera, France
Je ne sais pas si vous avez la même expression que nous en France mais on dit souvent quand il pleut ou neige très fort : " Un temps à ne pas mettre un chien dehors !"
Cette photo me fait vraiment penser à cette expression !
4 Dec 2008 3:18pm
@Vink: Je la connais bien, mais je t'assure que les chiens adorent la neige...;) Merci beaucoup Vink :)
