    Nice action captured Ken. Nice exposure and color. Maybe a touch more sharpening. Well done.

    Looks pretty serious for playtime. I like the rising water splashes on the side of the one on the left.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Wild Dogs regularly play just before sunset, it is part of their well developed social structure. We were lucky to find them in a relatively open area with the added highlight of plenty of water, a little more sunlight would have helped but we are not complaining.

    Just wonderful...the frozen splashes, and especially that "playful" stare.

    nice close-up view of the doggy fun Ken
    if the RHS dog had been in focus it would have put it over the top
    I think a slight levels/curves adjustment would make it "pop" a bit more?

    Morkel,

    I am afraid that the chances of getting both animals in focus was virtually impossible, obviously would have prefferd but at least you can see what it is and it gives meaning to the stare.
