A very interesting composition Cleo.. The dog at the perfect spot in the sun to give his head a halo effect. You still maintained the long sunstreak across the water and that adds a lot to the capture for me. Nice silhouette and very good focus.Not to sharp and not to soft.. Dennis

Gorgeous silhouette and wonderful placement of Lucky. The reflection you captured of his legs is stunning. Very best wishes for the contest.

What a beautiful picture of your dog entering the water at sunrise. The initial impact is strong. The color harmony is lovely. The lighting is very good. And the story telling is great.
