Description
Three hunting dogs move through open grass toward a bird ahead of them. One points with its body while the others follow, their attention fixed on the same direction. Low plants and a pale horizon leave space around the action. The color and shape of aligned poses of the The dogs meet low plants through a distinct contrast. This image draws together aligned poses of the The dogs and low plants through placement and contrast.
