A rather ordinary late afternoon stroll at the local park when this scene unfolded. I loved how everything is seemingly disconnected and yet wonderfully coherent. =)

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.
Terrific light! Really like the composition; the serene bird, the dog clearly wanting to run off towards the bird, and the dogwalker determinedly ignoring them both. And not even noticing that wonderful beam of sunlight spotlighting the bird. Can't be a photographer ;-)
this photo really works for me, the composition is just right, the ray of sun on the heron, the way the dog looks as if its pulling towards the bird, and it all works perfectly in B&W, a big well done from me.
Oh come ON! A sunbeam ON the egret???? This is just too marvelous. It is amazing how the jogger and the dog - arguably the predominant subjects - are second to the first two elements. Beautiful parallel lines.
