Dan,

Thanks for commenting, obviously there is not much I could do about the amount of the splash, but the image is supposed to include both the water and the dogs:S3:

Lovely sighting. It would be perfect if the eye had been visible between all the splashes.

Egil,

Thanks for your comment, I can see the eye although I'll admit there is a very large drop just to the right, do you think it would be improved if removed?

Ken - I don't think it will make a difference to remove the drop. I'm afraid this shot seems to be more about the splash than the dogs and for that reason doesn't really work for me. Do you have others in the sequence that are not obscured as much by the water?

TFS,
Rachel

Like the action and the low angle. Agree the water does obscure the eyes and face.
