Excellent capture. The couple & dog stand out so nicely against the foggy background.

I agree with Matt. The striping and figures ground the image. The car is ghostly coming through the fog like that. Great work.

Wonderful piece but they must hurry along or face the wrath of the approaching car. Love the story and b&w tones with the foggy background.

That dog is telling you to back off:-) Love the mist covering this scene. Strange how the couple seems to be ignoring the warning of their dog.

What a fabulous ambience to the scene, with the mist sweeping down and the characters almost as silhouettes. Superb contrast, and an awesome photograph

This is a superb photograph. One of your best. The lighting and the fog are marvelous. To have one true friend is to be profoundly blessed.

Splendid illustration of Cicero's sentence, and splendid shot. The b/w is very good and the detail of the dog looking you is perfect.

The diffuse image that generates that fog is wonderful. The perfect silhouettes. Good firing.

Like the dark foreground underlined by a slow and heavy walk of the couple

Vink will love this ! :) Folks and dog crossing in beautiful B&W - their dark silhouettes, the white mist, the funny expression of the dog noticing you and the lines down the road : great compo & feeling of street life...

Cool moment you have captured here, and the mist really adds to the atmosphere in this image, it makes the mood a little dark..

Alivia from Saint-Etienne, France
deux silhouettes qui traversent un paysage urbain noyé de brume, atmosphères pesante ou evanescente dd'un rêve, les rendus sont parfaits avec la lumière qui transparait et les phares allumés, well done !!

belle image mauis j'aurais bien un cadrage en 16/9 pour supprimer la partie basse qui ne me semble pas primordiale !

Very nice foggy day shot. Very well composed and the evocation of the friendship between man and dog is well represented. Beautiful details. Bravo!

Ajay from Pune, India
This shot have been just like any other ordinary shot but you've given it the best black and white treatment to make it look far beyond a professional.

I love the mysterious mood of foggy street scenes. Nice.

Love the scene.. puppy leading the way all full of vigor. The guy clutching a "Timmy's", not quite ready for the day as yet. :-)

The moodiness you create, the fog masking not showing everything. The darkness of your figures make it one and no one at the same time.

a very good street photography ! I like the misty atmosphere and the dark silhouettes crossing the road !

Müge from Istanbul, Turkey
There is a mysterious atmosphere on this photo ... The couple and dog make an ordinary walk maybe but the intense fog, the cars moving towards them, the stressful look of the dog, the emptiness of the street make me feel a bit unsecure instead of them :-)

Man's best friend seems to have spotted you. They are so curious and alert. A wonderful scene.

As always, a banal and everyday encounter would become a beautiful poem through your photography!
Perfect tone, lighting and timing!

Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada
what an intriguing image. So many key components to this: the movement, the pup, the car coming with lights on in the fog, your composition, and the people mostly in silhouette -- all make for a very interesting image.

Fantastic B&W shot, really. The foggy background paired with the dark tones of the foreground create a superb image full of mystery and drama.

First of all Sharon, thank you for the lovely and so sweet messages you've left... coming from you, it's really delightful ! :-)
I'm always impressed by the quality of your work and above all by all the moods that can be found here... every day different... and every day powerful. This is a real challenge because b&w is one of the most difficult technic to manage and control. So, all my sincere congratulations for all the images you've posted here and all the images to come... :-)

That's an alerting puppy, how cute. Like the atmosphere, feels cold and soggy. Nice shot.
