I know that feeling with trying to shoot images with the dog on the lead, I once had the bright idea of taking some long exposure seascapes and had Ted with me but it was a nightmare as he's just ruined every picture by running into it, soaking dry rocks in my foreground with wet dog splashes, got me soaking and also all of my camera equipment so after that I vowed next time he comes out with me when he is much older so just stays put

Good luck - my dog is 13+ and still won't stay put, won't even come back when called. That's why she has to be on a lead.
I think the picture itself tells a story and without the person there I think it would feel like it was missing something as the lines then point to an empty space so she definitely need to be in the picture
Confession time - I actually like empty spaces where you think there should be something, paths leading to nothing, people walking out of the picture, that sort of think. It's incomplete, uncomfortable, unsettling, unfinished, but I rather like that sort of feeling. That's not to say I don't like the opposite as well, though!

It might also be possible to make a 'bridge and shadows' image in a right hand side crop, to give more emphasis to the crisscross shadows.
Thanks. That, too, is a good idea. There's more to this picture than I first thought!

I'm with you Steve. Your image above, without the human presence, would be a fine example of this, as the path after the bridge seems to go off to an angle, making the bridge look like it is leading nowhere reallly, or to a dead end in the hedge - there would be a sense of mystery, or a questioning at least.

And yes, I did let the person cross the bridge before crossing it myself, thus staying well separated.
