This is an excellent shot, capturing the motion (and emotion) perfectly. However the framing really ruins and detracts from the shot. I would love to see the image without the frame and perhaps just cropping in on the dog in the water.
Mark, perhaps I agree about the frame but the essence of this photo really cancels it out. A dog trying to catch rocks??? WHAT kind of dog is this? Looks like a Brittany - this is a great shot and great post! ~Mary~
I laughed at this shot. The dog really looks like he is enjoying himself. The frame looks like it might be made of leather and be the perfect thing for a desktop at the office.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
