Moment In Time: Two Dogs

Check out this image for your next 'Moment in Time'.

What do we remember are the success criteria?

1. Written now  - present tense - are, leap. splashing, chasing...


2. Third Person  - they, it, the dogs...

3. Beginning to set the scene - where are they, what is the day like?

4. Middle to add all the detail - describe the dogs, feelings, water, background, sounds etc...

5. Ending - a short comment or sentence to end. Might be a question or thought.

6. Stay on the picture. Do not make it part of a larger story. The photo is your'Moment in time'.
