Hi Rachel, LOL, just started to process a WD image, wider view. 
Overall I feel the image looks thin, another 'selective' luminosity mask around 80-85% I think helps both the water and selectively the vegetation in the BKG, adds more depth. It also looks a bit yellow? The pano for works well and the slight curvature of the water adds. I assume the ISO was from hen the dogs were playing? I like the different pose/aspect of each dog, they are not all doing the same thing.

Hi Rachel , quiet nice wide view with the WD spread out across the frame all doing different stuff/positions.
I like the colors and the comp , but think it is not that nicely processed as other images from you , like the Mother Ellie with youngster .
It looks a bit thin as Steve observed and i think the blacks/shadows does look choked up in the WD and bushes , should be possible to to open up.

Love the overall scene here Rachel showing good habitat, perhaps biased but love all scenes with WD in them.
agree with Steve & Andreas on their points, would like to see just a very small CCWR.

Thanks Steve and Andreas - I'll take a look at the yellows and the tones. This was not the best light angle and shadows were somewhat harsh. Steve - this was before the dogs were playing when they were just getting up from their snooze. I think Dean raced around to the other side and at first pulled up on the termite mound there and then when they headed our way we repositioned next to the mound at water level.
Thanks again,
Rachel

I like the content but it looks a little yellow to me and possibly a little anticlockwise rotation. I appreciate the light is what you get but I would consider lightening the darker areas on the dogs just to see what the effect would be.

Thanks Gabriela. The crop on the right was incidental to straightening the image. I'm not sure this accurately conveys the scene either but I'm ok with it.

Hi Rachel, it must have been a thrilled to see that many dogs playing near the water. I think this is a difficult image to pull off. The dogs were on the far side, so they look small and the light was a bit harsh. Agreed that the OP was bit yellow. The RP tried to take care of the harsh light, but i think it is a bit too dark and is probably not reflecting the time of day. I would suggest taken cared of the yellow in the OP, but not darken the scene so much. TFS. Loi
