Wonderful action here. Love the ears in the air and the kicked up dirt. For a final product, I would want to get rid of the dark spots in the top right. All of your dogs near the front are sharp, and I love the fact that they are all different colors. What a great idea!

THank God there are good people who rescue these animals. Unlike the piece of worthless cr@p of a so-called human being in the story here (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23075756-29277,00.html)from Sydney.

Give me five minutes alone with this xxxhole!

Sorry, don't mean to put a damper on it.



I do very much love the image Mike. :)

I was going to initially post a do not bring ethics into it line. It was a paid shoot and I also had a blast doing it. I took the position in my mind that it was no different then a photojournalist covering a conflict. He / she might not agree with the reasons behind it but it's his job to record it.

Thanks for liking my image.

Hi Mike,

I was not meant to comment on the racing of the hounds itself it's just that the story I linked popped into my mind. I am sure that there are far more good than bad owners, as luckily we don't often hear cases like the one I mentioned.

It would be a blast to see these doggies run! :)

Great shot Mike! Perfect DOF on such a fast moving subject. I am very interested in the specs for this one.

Ammzing grouping and amazingly sharp. I love everything but the o-o-f rabbit.
