Hi Rachel a great and powerful image of the WD to finish off this month theme .
I love the expression in the face and the splashing water . You did really well in capture from my POV
.Not that easy to keep this in focus with all the water flying around .
Cannot comment on tone/color as i am looking onn a really not ideal screen at work , so forgive me that i skip that .
I would loose some of the bottom , too much of dead space from my POV as the doggie seems to run across to the left .
Just my thinking
TFS i enjoyed viewing this frame , nice work Rachel

Hi Rachel -- nice action , lovely colors and details inspite of a 50% crop, well processed to. I see a bit of cyan on the back leg , I think a 9 x 16 crop will make this image more appealing by eliminating that extra space at the bottom. And that greenish thing on the LHS is some kind of algae ?? TFS.

Thanks Andreas, Haseeb and Sanjeev very much. The color of the water really varied depending on the light hitting it and the depth. There was definitely a lot of green.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Hello Rachel!
I guess you already know this is my favourite of your Wild Dog images, and one I shall always remember!
What a wonderful capture, all I see is joy and playfulness on this character's face. He seems surprised - or maybe just delighted - by the other family member catching up fast, adding more splash and making this one crazy, wonderful, wet chase!
Apart from being a very special behavioural image, this frame carries a lot of emotion. Love the interaction from the dogs and those warm colours -they enhance the mood tremendously.
Very well exposed and I like the framing/composition, nice and sharp and FP is surely spot-on, great skills in the field my friend
One of those memorable images I expect to see on magazine covers, this is what I call "money shot" Rachel, CONGRATULATIONS!
Hope you have a wonderful day, thank you for sharing this special image with us

Nice action indeed, must've been an exciting sighting to sit in, Rachel!
I like the splash and the clean surrounds, might just shave some off the bottom (bearing in mind you said it's a fairly large crop already)

Hi Rachel, capturing any wild dog action is great, and in this, I like the angled run of the dogs with all the flying water. I do like the overall colours in the image. Well captured.

Wonderful dog action with the flying water! Great to get that eye in focus! I would consider cropping up from the bottom as it seems like just too much water with so little to balance it at the top. I am envious of all wild dog images as I have yet to see one.

Thanks Gabriela, Stu, Morkel and Nancy. I very much appreciate the comments and suggestions. I have the feeling that this particular sighting was a once in a lifetime experience. I have been fortunate though to see wild dogs on multiple trips and in multiple reserves.
Thanks again,
Rachel
