Love this dog--Chilling on the beach! Looks like this dog absolutely loves the beach! Nice shot! The lightning and color of the sky and beach spot on!

    Thank you so much. Yes he is a beach body. We walk the three miles every morning but he never want to go home.

Lucky looks like he is having way too much fun. A very nicely focused, well balanced shot of a dog have a good time. Mine act the same way on the beach here in Baja. Good color balance with a great crop, thanks for the view.

    Thank you so much. I think the beaches of the Baja and the Yucatan aren't much different just our water seams warmer.
Comment from KarenMartin


Good focusing, technically sound and nicely composed image.
The colours of the sea, sand and dog really complement each other, and that line of green stops the image being too pale.
I love the dog's position although guess he has only just started his roll as he look too clean, lol.
I love to see dogs enjoying themselves like this.
Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you so much for your review and the wishes. Right he just came out of the water and started rolling in the sand. Maybe I post a sandy dog next time.

this is a wonderful, joyous photo of mr doggie having a really great time at the beach! very nice exposure, the clouds came out nicely, the sea looks real, and the texture of the sand comes thru nicely. good earthy colors to this, its a very pleasant photo to enjoy. I hope you enlarge this to at least 12x18". great work!

THis got a big chuckle out of me. Abandoned fun.. and maybe a good scratch from the sand? Really enjoyable. I can sense the pleasure. Such a wonderful pose/position from your dot. Wonderful colour and clarity throughout. And no one else around! I am still smiling. Thank you

    Thank you. Yes that's a good scratch after a good swim. This beach is only known to insiders, it's of the tourist trade, it's also early in the morning.
Comment from willowway


Great capture. Playful and fun. Focus is crisp. Colors feel soft and muted a tad but seem spot on for the shot. Great animation. Thanks for the fun shot.

    Thank you so much. The colors are natural I believe, It's early in the morning with some thin cloud bands.
Comment from slblevins


Great focus and details, colors and lighting. Looks as if he is having a great time and you captured it well. Great how you filled the frame. Ocean and sky make a great background. Sand makes a great foreground. Center of interest is great and a great presentation. slblevins:)
