What I love about this image is the individual elements of the composition that come together to tell a story.  Yes, this Golden Retriever was at a dog show.  The Chester Valley Kennel Club show last month, to be exact.  The handler is on the left, partially hidden, but you know that she is an important element of this image.  Then there is the lead, connected to the very handsome dog, but you can also imagine that the handler is holding the other end high above the dog’s head.  Oh, and the bait — the food that is used to draw the attention of the dog.  The handler likely has the lead in one hand and the bait in the other.  The beautiful dog is the 4th element and is probably thinking, “Sure, dangle that above my head just out of reach!  You do know that I can jump and grab that in a heartbeat, right?”  4 elements combined together to tell a story without being totally connected.  What a fun composition!
