Chihuahua and the big, big ocean

It is really action in this photo. Great idea to put two together like this. For a small Chihuahua the wave is probably huge, but then it is also running for its life back to safety- Nice and clear shots with good color and good light. Very nice composition. Good luck with the contest.

    Thank you very much, I appreciate your review and your kind wishes. I think you are right. For a Chihuahua that one food wave must look like a mountain of water.

Aha, you have created your own action. Very good. And we get an idea of how the brave dog handles the waves. Very creative and unique image. The focus is good and the colors are very nice. Your background makes a very good contrast with your subjects. Very nice image.

Very funny and made me remember the first time my two big dogs met the ocean and freaked out. The lighting and composition are very nice with good detail. Good job!

Nice capture and processing them into one image. Go planning to have it looking and waiting for the wave and then it heading for the dry sand.

I would like to know what waters this is. It is really clean looking. I live on Lake Michigan and our waters do not look like this! Great looking water and shore line. The dogs look to be having a great time. Well done! Pat

    Oh sorry, I am so deep in the tought that I have to hide my location and identity that I even do it in a not blind contest.
    These are Caribbean waters. Its the most southern part of Mexico, the coast of Quintana Roo on the Yucatan peninsula. Unfortunately our ocean is not always that clean. It accounts on from were the wind blows and if somebody has dumped some garbage in the ocean around. Often our precious beach looks like a garbage dump now.
    Thank you for your encouraging review. I will add the location to my comments right away.

    Thank you very much for your review and the kind wishes. It is just one dog. Two photos of him, taken just seconds apart were merged. It is not my dog. This little tourist was guest in our village for a few weeks and didn't mine to play and walk with my dog who is several times bigger.

Great action shot. I love how you caught the dogs expression looking at the wave coming and then hightailing it.

You have put them together seamlessly! Tells a super story, and gave me a huge smile, especially when I think that this is probably a small wave! I love the water action on the one running for shore! I think that the facing the wave shot makes him look so brave! Donkeyoatey

    Thank you very much. This little guy was something. Very brave indeed. He didn't mine to play with my dog even barely reaching the knees of Lucky. He was running ofter Lucky when that huge [one foot] wave came in. I guess he was some surprised seeing it. It must look like a tsunami to a Chihuahua.
