Weekly Theme: Water

[Sandra K. Mathews-Benham]

Dulcinea is very keyed into the water. My husband had a better shot, but I still like this one. There are others of her sticking her tongue out at the water, but this one captured her eye the best.

Sandra, Big welcome to OOTB. I love the water splashing in your dogs mouth. Nice fun image. Good sharp details. I might tone down a few of the whites. I can also see this cropped a bit tighter but it's fine as presented. The eye does look alive! Well done.

Hi Sandra, and welcome! What a fun image, and who hasn't been on the other end of that water before? :) I just love all the water flying around and the determination on her face. You do have some hot spots on the top of the head and the neck/back area. Love her name too!

Welcome Sandra! Lovely image and I am really enjoying all that water flying around - the dog is having fun :D

[Julie Kenward]

I agree with toning down the hot spots - those are the biggest distraction here. I also could see lightening up the dark area at the top of the frame so it blends in with the rest of the grass better. Love the action you captured!

Nice image and application, Sandra.

Us dog lovers everywhere enjoy that action, unless we get too close! ;)

Hi Sandra. Love the action here! It definitely looks like she's having fun. :) Excellent sharpness on both the dog and water drops. Agree with toning down the hot spots.

Fun image Sandra, looks like a tough exposure, but you conveyed the action and the delight in the dog's face.

Sandra, welcome to OOTB! Great action - looks like she's got the determination and focus of a border collie.:)
