aaaw.....interesting pic.....nice reflectiones very well captured...not exactly desktop material in my world, but a very nice photo nevertheless.: )

What a great picture. It really captures the fun these dogs are having. The reflections make it extra special.

I agree that it's not really a desktop material, but it's still a warm and vivid picture and a change from all the landscapes and sunsets. ;)

Looks like a fun game they are playing. I really like how you have caught motion in this....so full of action! Very well composed and excellent job Simon:-)

it takes 2 to tango

nice reflection nice shot

in dutch I say "schitterend"

What a fun image! It speaks for itself - well framed with lots of interest.

Hoo! Very nice with the reflection. I like the title too. Good job, Si

Thank you all for your comments, and Mayne, thanks for the countdown of how little time there is left to prepare for Christmas - I really must start thinking about it soon.... ;-).

Very good photography,agree with ppigeon.

Cute! And sweet - they look like they're walking on water!

I really love the way this one captures the presence of the moment. It's so much life and playfulness in this shot. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. ^_^

You think these wild hounds are playing?! What is it with you people, you can clearly see that those are the twisted organs of a small child, that these two dogs ripped to shreds on the beach. And instead of helping thier child, this family simply clicked away. Such sick people. Look at the picture again, would those dogs be so happy if they didn't just eat your kid? Exactly.

I really like the purity of the shot

I love your picture, Si, it's very creative and well taken- great job!

Border collies? My baby, all 123 pounds of her, is part border collie and part golden retriever. This is a great shot. You really captured the spirit of these two beautiful dogs. Nice shot. 10/10

Thanks to almost all of you for your kind comments ;-) 123 lbs is a lot of dog, Sally - these two are pure border collies and together only total around half that, although they've still got a bit of growing to do as they're only eight months old...

Adorable and very nicely done. I especially like the reflection in the sand. I want dogs like that.

good capture of the 2 dogs playing & their shadow, occupying the whole space

Thanks, both

great shot the reflection inthe water makes it work

I bet you were over the moon when you got that one! I'm a keen dog photographer myself and I'd kill to have taken it.

Thank you, Ben and Damian. Yes, I was pleased with this one, and I expect my wife was pleased too when I said she could stop throwing the dogs' toy into the shallow stream on the beach because I'd got enough shots and one of them must have come out right ;-)

Love it!

Fantastic use of reflections. Great picture!

makes a nice desktop background. 10/10

Thank you! Nice to see this one still getting some views and comments :-)

perfect composition and symetry

What an incredible picture! I breed dogs and I always miss the best shots! Love it!

hi Si, you really have the skill for capture the moments. i love all your photos, but this is very special, thanks for share. saludos from mexico.

What a wonderful picture this is. Great capture. I really enjoy the reflections of Sasha & Scylla. This is just perfect. Great work

This is one of my favorites on this site - great balance, line, and reflection! Great Eye!

Once again, thank you all. This is one of my personal favourites because they're my dogs, but I'm delighted it's appreciated by people who aren't quite as biased as me... :-)

Hello! Very nice image. I'm sure they're really fun to hang around with. 10 out of 10!
By the way, who won?

Precious pups. Guess they are yours? Great action shot. I hope you framed that one and hung it on your wall and a copy in their doghouse. Well done.
Pat

You know borders aren't really dogs; they're furry little people. My fourteenth Border Collie is now waiting for 5:20 when I get home from work. I'm planning to use this image to talk my wife into getting a second one. Thanks for submitting it.

wanderful

A very good capture, great reflections there :)

this is a absolutly gorgous picture, action, reflection, color detail all perfect

The favorite button didn't exist when I last saw and commented on this terrific photo (I'm a dyed-in-the-wool border collie fanatic -- have had many of them in my life), so I'm delighted to be able to add it to my favorites file. It's been in my desktop pictures folder for a long time. The angle and position are great, allowing the reflection in the wet sand to be fully revealed, and the action is pure border. I throw sticks in the river for my two (brother and sister) to retrieve and it often ends up being a tug-of-war all the way back to me. A photo of pure joy.
