Cool shot - I like the 'dialogue' between the dog and the man.  To be honest,
it looks like a Zuiko shot to me, and that's a good thing (I'm a big OM fan, as
well as Leica). My only gripe is that the focus is on the wall and not the man
or the dog. If the wall was slightly blurred, and the dog and man in sharper
focus, it would improve the shot a lot. Oh well, better than not having taken
it at all, as you suggested!
