Definite attention grabber!
Dog's expression and tongue is great and accentuates the floating pink object. The water is exceptionally blue, and really compliments the center focus. The story is great, really adds charm, good job!

What a cute image and a great story Willie. The colors are awesome. Great clarity and good light. Gave me a chuckle which is always a bonus. My daughter in law to be has a boston named Nellie. She loves the water but after my son rescued her from the bottom of the river she is very cautious. He had to jump in shoes, brand new iphone and all to save her. She sinks like a rock!

Thank you so very much! This little dog uses her front legs to swim. she tucks her hind legs. If she wants to turn she will kick with one of her hind legs. I have watched her under water. It is a trip! She will also dive in. I am going get some shots of her diving!

This is really cute, Willie. I love that you caught Bertie with her tongue out since it color coordinates so nicely with the raft she's on. Pretty blue background with the pool water. Nice lighting and detail in her face and coat. Adorable job! Lynnmarie

Thank you so very much! She plays all the time so her tongue is out most of the time! When this was taken she had just finishes a couple of laps aroun the pool. She sounded like a freight train.

This is a cute and amusing pet photography. Good timing makes good photographs mostly. this is classic case. The picture has come out well in all respects.

Dogs and cats are just like children and people with them just can't understand that. Very nice photo of a very beautiful looking dog. Nice fashion shot of Bertie!
