5 Blue Downers - April POTM

[Black_Square]

Hi,

I met Andre whilst shooting street portraits. He's living on the streets. Andre explained that his dog had recently been taken off him by the local dog warden. This prompted him to take 5 valium and drink a bottle of wine. Fortunately he's ok and managed to get his dog back. Unfortunately for me said dog bit me on my leg.

I echo Dean. Well done. I hope the leg isn't terribly damaged. ... got a shot of the dog?

I like it................. except for one minor thing.

He's too far to the left in the frame.

Cool story, Excellent image and an engaging subject. What's not to like.

Very well done.

Good portrait with an unusual title. Like Sparky mentioned, he does seem a bit far to the left within the frame area. A slight recropping might elevate this shot even higher.
