Thanks for appreciating my photo. :) It depicts my dog Piegus (english: Freckly), which I adopted from shelter 5 years ago. One of our favourite activity after tiring walks is... observing. We just sit on the grass, most preferably on a hill and observe, relax ourselves... On that particular day we sat next to a pond and listened bird's talking. Freckly got interested in something that was moving through the scrub - he sat and observed... and I took that picture. Every time I look at it, I'm relaxing just like on that other day. Equipment used: Canon EOS 1D Mark II + Canon EF 17-40mm f4.0 L. My name is Aleksandra Sypniewska, I'm from Poland, Europe - be sure to visit my website:
