    It’s amazing how that tiny figure gives the whole photo focus.

      I think that’s true. Perhaps because all the perspective lines (side of the road, borders of the trees and sky) all point to the runner area.

    Stunning. Reminds me of what I used to enjoy about running!

      Thanks. Making great use of what many call a dull dreary day.

    There only one person that reminds me of: the late Terry Fox. It’s a keeper.

      Yes, I see it now. The solitary runner, slight lean and one arm out as if for balance.

    Quite an evocative shot, John.

      Thanks. It took me a while to decide if I was going to shoot that, to switch the dog leash in to my left hand, did out the compact camera out of my pocket and shoot it. Almost gave up but then realized the shot got stronger as the runner got farther away.

    We will cherish this photo that you took of our son. He lives on Salt Spring Island far away from our home in Toronto. It is wonderful to be able to have glimpse of him experiencing the joy of life’s simple pleasures. You have captured the moment perfectly! Thank you John.
