At the risk of taking up too much LUG space...
The reason that I didn't take the bag out is because it gave me several 
things 
that I wanted:

(i) A strong line going bottom right from the bag to top left through the 
dog's back
(ii) A marker as where and when it was taken
(iii) quite a strong element but not enough to overwhelm the other two
(iv) the ability to use it as a free-standing shot which wasn't just "boy 
and 
dog" (FOM2?)

I haven't taken BD's class, but I couldn't re-arrange the elements I had to 
get 
what I could and am resonably satisfied with what I got.

Same goes for the man and dog. It was there I got what I could 
surreptitiously - 
and then talked to him. I didn't want it posed.

Thanks for the comments.

Peter
