Description Taken yesterday morning, I just loved how this older gentleman had taken on this new pup and the relationship that has already grown between the two, something easily seen from a distance. I also loved how the golden retriever puppy was so eager and hesitant about going into the water and how the man coaxed him on gently.

The fog was quite natural and lovely in its sense of calm it generated among those out enjoying it. I have to say, this is one of my personal favorites I have taken in awhile, if only special in my mind. Enjoy!

This is an impressively atmospheric and emotive piece of work: I'm particularly fond of the way that the landscape just dissolves into nothing; it's like the two figures are entirely alone in their little patch of earth. Good work.

Aside from the touching relationship between the man and his dog...the way the fog envelopes the entire scene except for those two is amazing.

I wish I could have seen such a sight in real life
