Dog Photo Competition 3 2012 : Entry Number 714

nicely done! this is an awesome action shot ... it's not that there's anything unusual here as far as composition or artistic value -- compositionally it is strong, and as far as action, it is relatively dynamic ... but the vividness of color, the management of white balance and tonality, sharpness and curves, is perfect. an absolute pleasure to view! well done. ~ illona

Thanks for the mark of excellence and the lovely comments, and congratulations to all the other winners. This is a photo of Jaffa, a Brittany I bred who belongs to friends. I really love this photo of him because his face and his body language shows his happy nature. Photo taken by Helen Green, Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
