Too bad voters didn't have the benefit of your details so they could realize this for your personal take on the 80's. As always, well composed with the added human interest factor. The colors are even muted which goes along with the theme of your picture.

Good lighting with no noticable blown-outs.
A woodie and rubber duckie - definately an odd couple!

It must have been a very cold morning!! Not only does the human have a coat but the dog does too!! I like the strong vertical moving back and forth through the center of the image. (please excuse my spelling) I think the vinetting (corrections are welcome!) at the corners worked well with the darkness of the image to help enhance the feeling of cold. Excuse me I need to put on a jacket...for some reason it got cold in here all of a sudden! I think the horizon also helped because it anchored everything in place and brings impact to the image with the red, white, and blue. I also like the reds working together just before the intersection of the verticals and horizontals with a very pleasing effect! The blacks and reds in the vertical are also outstanding. Just a brilliant composition...very well balanced!!
