The burro had just finished swimming across the pond and is now doing his best dog impression. I was taking some photos of a horse and rider who were also swimming across the pond when this fellow decided to join in the fun. I might rework and repost a photo of the horse and rider at a future date. There is another shot that shows his face more clearly but I liked the water flying everywhere. I was surprised the water droplets stood out so vividly. I asked him why he swam across the pond and he said he enjoyed making an "..." out of himself. I know the feeling.

Great shot , sharp and colorful. I want to see the horse and rider. It's not nice to make a horse girl wait on a possible photo of a horse . lol Well done.

He just did exactly the same as my dog did once at the lake. I will either post it again [it has been posted, then deleted, subsequently reposted, reworked by probably camerahoud or some other friend and then reposted and deleted] or email it to you for your fun.

I thought for sure the ass would say, "To get to the other side" in response to your query. Nice detail work and colors, TicK. From the shape of those droplets, I'd guess that you used a little longer exposure time unless the droplets are really white flies on the attack.

I disappeared from Caedes during the Missouri photo competition although I think I voted for the horse and rider crossing the pond three times a day for a few weeks. There was a guy from St. Louis that was pulling away with an inferior shot but a superior social network. How did you do?

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

They say those things ain't so smart, so I bet it went in the water without takin' his shoes off first! Excellent shot, Tick. I like the splashing of the water.

It looks as though he was in the end in a hurry to get out of the water. Probably you are right . He realized that he had made an "A" of himself.

I like this one Tick. I like how you froze the water myself. Great colors as well. The donkey and my dog would have a good time togather.

A good action capture of the water droplets flying off this bathing beauty fresh from taking a dip in the pond. Good lighting and colour in the photo, and nice post work.

Tick - Shake, rattle and roll! Terrific timing and use of the backlight to capture the water droplets. Thad

Good low angle lighting. He seems in a hurry to get to the bank. A fine strata of colors too.
