Serves you right for getting down to get this and it was a quick shot by all accounts so well done for this the one thing i feel would have made this better[and most people would not have thought so quick in that respect] would to have made this a vertical shot[but minor point]well done for this...Brian

    Thanks Brian!
    Yes you?re right, a vertical shot would have been a lot better, it was all a bit of a rush and I didn?t really have time to think it through.

this should be the winner of the contest!
A great stop action of this running dog coming out of the river with all the water drops falling from his body;

A brilliant stop action picture of this Border Collie racing towards you after taking a bath in the river shedding water as he charges forward surrounded by a halo of water droplets. His eyes fixed on you ears up as he stands out clearly from his blurred green background.
Beautiful stop action composition, framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Reminds me of my last Dog Juno.....I still miss her.
Good luck in the contest.
Susan

A very good looking action, nature shot posted here! Reckon you were quite brave squatting down as the raced towards you? Sharpness and exposure are spot on. Great photo and good luck!

    Thank you very much Nikman!
    Stupid perhaps, but not brave, I just banked on the fact that dogs seem to like me for some reason! Lol

Comment from Easton Bay


Wow, I'd say that you were quite brave to crouch down for this shot. Not only does this cutie's mouth and eyes look like he's ready to do some damage but he's also WET. Very wet.
I'm happy that he jumped over you and that you were able to capture this fun and appealing shot.
Good luck in the contest!

Oh my goodness! This dog looks crazed! You got an incredible shot of him. It's so much fun to see something a little different with dog shots and this is definitely one of those. Super presentation along with fantastic lighting and focus! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi

the wonderful expression of the is lovely border collie brings this piece to life. I can feel the water spraying off the dog as he races toward him. Just brings me joy! Well done and good luck

Nice stop action capture of this adorable Border Collie! These are such super intelligent dogs!
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors snd tones appear natural. I love the water droplets all around him!
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

What a great dog these Border Collies are!!

And what an absolutely top drawer shot this is. There's maybe 1 in 10 shooters who would instinctively know how to get the best angle of this once only in a life time shot.

Timing is everything and this shot has all of that and a heck of a lot more.

The camera technique on display is perfect for detail, sharpness, contrast, color reproduction and etc...

This piece stands above and goes beyond technical perfection. What is so great about this is the moment in time that you captured - timeless, priceless and preserved forever.

I think I just reviewed the winner of this contest, if I may be so presumptuous... Bob
