Of course, you are proving my point by showing that the only way to get away from my statement is to keep to the most obvious things shown in the photograph. But, if you want to draw this discussion into absurdities (and I'm sure you know that any discussion about such a statement could be) I could respond that this photo says nothing about the dogs, except that they are flat and positioned on (or being part of) a flat surface. You claim that they are yours and that the photo is taken from above, but the photo says nothing about that so I have to trust you, as I must in relation to photo journalism. Being flat, the dogs on the photo could be on a wall. Nice photo... DagT
