    Dear Matt

    That is a Picture, capital letters, also thanks for a direct link I hate trawling sites.

    I wish I had seen it and done it. If it had a famous name under it, I would believe it, no finer accolade can be had, well done buddy.

    Comments - no do not crop, it is how you saw it and it works, cinema verite (no accents sorry) as they say, the vast landscape gives context.

    On a Mac the quality is enough to get the idea, no worries.

    The current obsession (me too!) to mess with the original view is sometimes not good; I hear my critics continually tell me I crop too tight both when taking and again when processing shots - I am trying to learn still though, after 50 years!!!!!

    I do not want you to get big headed but if your 'hit rate' contains five per cent like that I really envy you, there is talent there. Of course, that means I hate you.......

    The quality thing - check out Tom Ang's Digital Photography book (second hand or library) he explains how best to down-size web pix very well, it is an art form in itself.

    Again, well done dear boy, enjoyed it, that's what it's all about

    I think it's a great shot! Well composed and I love the colors, interesting subject, and the sunset too. I guess since it's been mentioned, I probably would crop it too. But if your photo, so definitely keep the dogs if you like them. I left a comment and favorite. Keep up the good work.

    Subject matter is extremely personal, like these men didn't even see you there. It feels like you captured a real moment of emotions. I am very impressed not only in the connection you made with your subject matter, but the fact that you were able to carry that connection to other viewers of your art. (It is easy to capture a moment you feel, but extremely difficult to portray that moment to others)

    Color is very well placed

    Photo is well balanced

    I would amp the contrast a tad because you lose a little in the background

    I do not mind the dogs, but may prefer it if they were not present. It would have made this picture perfect in my eyes, but hey 9.5 outta 10 ain't too shabby!

    It's okay. I think it would be better if it was cropped in tighter to the people. The sunlight on the right keeps pulling my eyes to it instead of the people.

    Its fine proper exposure, lighting ect.

    i love the colours, they're so vibrant!

    it has a beautiful air of something you've missed... a colourful event that you cant see because its whats happened after, which is rarely captured :)

    stunning :)

    I saw a bunch of skinny black guys wearing dresses. I hope you are not starting a trend.
