    Hi Dumay,
    lot of space around.
    Love the clarity and the detail in the dog, tonality works good.Framing of the dog with room to RHS is just right .
    I feel it overall a bit light, so i took the chance and darkened it via a green channel luminance layer and multiplied the K channel from CMYK into the layer at 70 % opacity.

    Hope you do not mind, cheers Andreas

    Hi Dumay, pretty cool looking image like the composition and HA.

    I might suggest looking at adjusting the BKG/FG with an exposure adjustment, then just using some selective colour for the WD. I think you can afford to up the colour a tad, to a more richer look, but just my take.

    stunning motion and light, it really pops Dumay
    Andreas' repost has subtly improved it, indeed.
    I would consider taking some off the top as well?

    Hi Dumay - really nice alert pose of the dog and the tail out is a bonus. Andreas' rp has taken it up a notch but a really fine image to begin with. Nicely done.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Lovely image with great light and pose. Really like the feel of the grasses. Agree RP takes it up another notch.

    Awesome light and like the space Dumay! The stare and interest of the dog on a subject outside the frame adds a lot!
