There is a place in a collection of photographs for an everyday shot about everyday things. Had the site been more beautiful in itself, or had there been something unusual there, the "common experience" aspect of it all would have been lost. I especially liked it that the little white dog and his owner were happy together on the walk, but hardly "heeling" according to Obedience class standards! That's how it is in Real Life. Good focus, good centering on the subject. Less white (coat, dog, walkway) and more color might have yielded more interest but less palette control.
But the poodle is cute... =)
