I'm a bit eighteenth century when it comes to landscapes. Many photographers like their landscapes to be unsullied by the human presence. I can appreciate that, and sometimes like it myself if the content of the view has great interest. But, as with many (most?) eighteenth century landscape painters, I do like a person or two, or an animal, to provide a focal point or to give scale to the composition. The photograph above would be considerably the poorer for the absence of the dog walker.
