Well Done that is a great photo with lots of action.

I bet your dog needed a good rest after all that exercise.

Nice one Gillies, look forward to your challenge.

 

I am finding this comp very interesting/challenging.

For example, I never considered entering any pics of my dog playing in the sea or river. Why? well I have a couple of hundred taken over the years so tended to think that "another one" would not be of any interest. How wrong I was

Thanks loads to everyone who voted for my shot - I did have a slight advantage in having a dog and living by the sea, sorry ... ironically he hates the camera, point it at him and he turns his head.

 

I took a number of shots of him in a field and in the sea, and then picked out my favourite two ... here are the ones I was going to enter.

 

Too get him to run in the water, I was throwning wee stones in and he'd splash through the waves to get them, was a nasty bright sun shinning right into me so taking the shots was pretty hard going ... thats why colouring not great in water shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Running up and down the field - I just crouched down as much as I could to get half decent perspective and framing, asked him to sit, then walked 20 meters or so, held the camera in one hand and a stick in the other and shouted him, and took shots as he ran to me.

 

 

 

Again, a big thank you to everyone who voted for the photo of me and my big mad dog. Well done to everyone who took part, some really nice shots.

Like the one with the tree in his mouth he must a very big dog.

I think that would have been a finalist as well.
