My friends golden retriever who looks forward to his weekly swim. Since Shad has been doing this, he has built up more stamina, and just loves fetching that duck.

Used the canon 50mm lens.

Thank you for commenting.

I wish Shad all the best with his weekly workout. One of the possible topics for the next contest is "Rule of Thirds in Blue." You picture, in bluer water, would make an interesting composition for such a topic.

I hope everyone views this full size because it is a real beauty and the water really shines and ripples. I love Shads happy expression. He is so happy to be 'retrieving'

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

He looks happy and healthy Sandi. Pity we don't have dog Olympics - Shad will then be on the winners stand :)

Poor duck didn't stand a chance! LOL. Excellent shot, Sandi, of Shad and the rubber duckie!

Sandi - Now I have "Rubber Ducky - you're the one" stuck in my head, and I have you to thank! Excellent capture. The lighting at indoor pools offers lots of challenges for photographing swimmers - inconsistent flares and dark areas, color, etc.. But, you nailed it in this image. Nice work! Thad

I know its quite a sight to see when a dog is fetching in water. My neighbor takes her black lab in her pool and I laugh so hard at them! A cute and excellent capture of Shad and his fun time Sandi!!!

Labs, goldies and my Boris are excellent swimmers !!! Only that my Tiger prefers to chase them alive ducks and is always frightfully surprised when he is just .. just about .. to catch and the duck suddenly takes a flight away !! LOL
This is like chasing other birds, the face says: "Oh, I have just been trying to break the record". LOL

And it also proves that dogs CAN see the YELLOW colour more clearly than the others.

Spectacular action shot and I see in full view he has his mouth ready to bit down. He looks like he's having a blast
