Zorro with his prize

[massimomossi]

This is our black lab, Zorro--big, powerful, and fun-loving. He loves his plastic bone, and he loves to play fetch. He always does this--holds it up high, shakes his head, and juggles it in his mouth as he runs back.

I thought this shot got the feeling of his exuberance.

Olympus sp-570uz, 64.5mm, ISO 125, f4.7, 1/25. Minimal color editing and defringing in LR2, no cropping.

Enjoy.

In a big way Massimo !!!! Very creative Excellent use of low slow shutter speed, you nailed this one.

I like the diagonal movement, open mouth with teeth showing and red toy. If you have any room might even place Zorro further up and left !!! Big Congrats on this one !!!!

What a terrific picture! His teeth and prize being so prominent and accentuated by the panning, exuberance is right :)

Hi Massimo,
I like the diagonal motion blur...I'm glad that Zorro is a friendly dog...would not like to have my hand in his mouth...:D with those set of teeth...:eek::cool: Well done on the composition...agree with Mr. Forns in reference to the placement of Zorro in frame...:cool:
