 Man I've taken about 20 sessions trying to get one and shoehorn it in. Literally 100's of shots. But my nutty dog loved the whole thing. I shot this with 50mm lens and used my new circular Polarizer. Nothing special on the post processing. Adjusted shadows and usm and a bit of blue desat

What an awesome action shot. I really love how happy the dog looks. The colors and composition are wonderful. The USM appears a bit too strong IMO. I can see some serious fringing around the dog.

I gave it an 8 ... maybe just a tad oversharpened for a 9?

7 - Great stop motion, difficult but wish it had a bit more detail discernible - and was 640.

Excellent capture. The haloing abound the dog is a bit severe. Maybe sharpened a little too much. 9

Nice timing and a good shot but back down on the sharpening some to get rid of the rim around the pup.

Great pic, a little too sharp..maybe just from resizing for web tho

i can tell this was not taken with a pro camera, but that aside it is a fabulous capture! Light in the eyes, coming right at the camera, off the ground, ear up all it is very well done, you should invest in a better camera some day : )

Oh my God. (Not sure about processing, but this is still an Oh my God. Hope I have time to vote enough to count. - Coonhound or Pointer?)

6 A great pose, a very good composition, which fits naturally. Although centered, the photo is still dynamic. But, there´s something very wrong with the light and the colours here that I can´t really put my finger at. Have you tried a black and white version? I think it would definitely work much better. Pushing, really pushing hard to a 6.
