    Hi Russell,
    I like the lovely low POV, the detail and the composition. It would have been great if the OOF right hand corner was not there, but sometimes circumstance does not permit, otherwise a wonderful image.
    I hope you will have a wonderful trip with spectacular sightings, good luck.
    Thanks for sharing and with many thanks,
    Mark.

    When I see an image like this I am always drawn back to this thread

    Russel, I love the low angle and the "release" pose of the dog here (almost like a beagle being set after a fox ).
    I find the image overall to lack a little "oomph" so I did a quick highlights toning and added some saturation. Curious to hear what you think?

    Russell - Good timing to get the dog mid-leap. I agree about the lrc but like what Morkel has done to give it a bit more pop.

    Super pose captured here, and the catchlight and upright ears really make it work for me. Morkels repost looks good. Hope to see lots more from your trip.
