Description

Somehow I deleted this from my gallery, by accident when the photo I had chosen to submit to the contest today did not display after I uploaded it.
----------
No need to comment again, as I am re-entering it without editing.

This dejected looking boy will have to say "goodbye" to his best friend, who will be taking his last long walk this week.

Tricky exposure Michelle, and very nicely handled. Nice light on the boy's face while having to deal with the scene beyond. Super job! #7886065
