A sheep dog demonstration at a local highlands game - taken at a long distance as fast as I could get it I like the flow of the dogs fur - makes her look like she is flying.

Did the lead sheep take a tumble? It's right front leg is bent and is touching the ground. Like the determination on the dog's face.

That's super cute. Those are some very wooly sheep :) I have a sheep herding dog. But we have no sheep, so he just chases the other 2 dogs like they're being herded. Very cute shot. I like it a lot :)

Tough shot to pull off at any distance! :) The contrast between the sharp sheep and the blurred dog really makes the point of who's doing most of the moving. :) The blur does impart a sense of motion nicely. The long wide crop works great with the subject but overall impact would be greater, I think, if we could see the front of the mob or at least the head of that front sheep. Don't want much do I?! :) A scene well worth photographing and you've given me an idea for some future trip to a similar event here in Oz.

Great shot of a valuable furry friend at work. A pleasure to watch them work too I know.
