I really do like to see people or a single person somewhere in a landscape. It imparts such an immediate sense of scale and, I think, often adds to the grandeur of a scene. I particularly like your use of the person and dogs here, Donna. The silhouette is immediately understood. #7193657Donna La Mattino Pagakis February 22, 2009
