I think I see the pilot waving at you, Patti. LOL. This is outstanding with or without the collie, but I'm glad he wandered into the frame. What a fantastic sky, and countryside shot.

Lassie come home! Beautiful shot Patti. Jimbob was right about the sky - it's terrific!

Lovely countryside scenery and gorgeous sky.
Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully done Patti, and the collie is great addition.

The dog is probably hoping you brought your lunch with you Patti. :) LOL You could fly over here and I'd take you out to lunch.......Ummm......Gwen would have to got too I guess. ROFL Very nice job........you got it all covered in this one. :)

That's a pretty boarder collie in your capture of this magnificent country side & gorgeous sky

This shot really has some good things going for it. The dog and the path make a great foreground subject while the hills and valley make a great back ground. The large house down the hill makes a good anchor for that side of the frame and makes a nice triangle with the dog and the cenitaph that keeps the eye in the frame. The tree behind the dog and the cenitaph both pint together to those incredible clouds and perhaps to something more. The plane I see as a bonus for those who look long enough to see it, it points to what is beyond, and for you that spells adventure!
I thoroughly enjoy this picture Patti. Saved and Faved!

A beauty of a scene Patti ... the dog makes it even that more special. I sure do love those clouds. Nicely captured. +faves!

Very nice, Patti. I'd like to go walking there!

How!!! .. .. how the hell did my dog get there?...

~~Rushes off to see if he's still in his kennel!!~~

Phew!...yes!

I like the scene mizz Fogz!...So typical of our areas eh!...and the collie gives it depth!...

Wonderful panoramic shot, love the angles. A great bonus to get the collie in the shot. He looks quite at home. Nice work, Patti.

Breath taking beauty and I luv the precious poochie in the shot!!

Another great vista.

Beautiful countryside scene..Wonderful capture.Love it

Stunning countryside and you do bring it home so well...Nicely done my friend.

What a cute and pretty picture. That dog looks like Bob's dog.

It would be a lovely scene even without the dog - but it walking into the picture makes it extra special.
Love it Patti :)

Enjoying this good photo of yours Patti! Mich

i love the dog in the shot, a beautiful view patti!

Beautiful capture of this wonderful view! The dog is a real bonus.

Just an awesome photo Patti. What a cute dog. Thanks.

Wow, I really love this shot! I love how the dog just comes running into the scene. It looks like the picturesque place to be! :)

I've been meaning to comment on this one for some time but lost track of who took it and where it was located. I'm a die-hard border collie lover, so that pulls me to this one immediately, but looking further I realize the composition here is very well done. The signs of modern humanity are distant and small enough to only be a backdrop, leaving the hills, path, and dog as the main elements. The dog's position on the far left gives me the feeling that he's just arrived and it's only a lucky chance that we get to see him here. The angle of the path gives our eye a visual path to follow, right up to that handsome collie, and in return a direction for the dog to be moving in,along the path to us. The angles are strong, the composition is very good, and the lighting, clear focus, good DOF and near-perfect white balance make this one exceptional in my book. Very well done, Patti, Faved and saved. Thank you.
