Wonderful. As in wonder-filled. Title's a bit too obvious for my taste, but you can't say it ain't apt for the mood. The picture is graphically alive, sizzling with assertive light and contrast. The putative subject(s) are not the hero here. It's the magic of light; the way that a photograph can transcend the human eye when it comes to the fundamental elementary particle of photography: light. As for those subjects, in reverse order of importance here, they are: the human feet (are those Crocs? They are really awful. I have a pair myself and always feel like a happy maggot when I wear them). And then the dog; quite perfectly cast as a dog. And at the top step of the medal podium, the scraggly-branched plant, naked of leaves. Imagine for a moment how the picture would be diminished without that twiggy 'distraction'? It enfolds the scene, preventing an impulsive exit by the viewer. It has no discernible meaning, and yet without it the delightful indolence of the picture would leak away, trickling out the bottom-left-hand corner, and the viewer might end up instead gazing blankly at the mind-numbingly dull landscape hung next to it in the gallery. It's a celebration of photography ... as art, yes, but more important as the essence of a photograph as unique object. Thank you.
