Hi, Boris. I don't mind the old man and the dog being small in the image. There's no law saying that the main subject should be any larger than what's possible to discern from film grain! The question is whether they fill their role in the motif. I think they do. Your suggested title is "Old man, his dog and the city", and the filename is "watching the city grow". I think it's interesting that you leave the third element in the picture unmentioned; the trees that actually makes up the foreground. It builds a little puzzle, which I like. I think I like the filename even better for a title, because it leaves the question open on who or what is actually watching the city grow; trees or people? If you want to emphasise the man and dog's role, I suggest a crop. As it stands, all the action is in the lower half of the image. IMO, you don't need the whole tree to make the frame around the city, man and dog either. I'm not going to suggest a specific crop, though, unless you want specific input. Play around...:-) Cheers, Jostein
