Greetings from the Critique Club

They look like they were really enjoying themselves.

There are a few things that I think would have improved this image and garnered you a higher score. Personally I think you have cropped the picture too much. From a compositional point of view, I really think this would benefit with a bit more of the sea in the frame. The picture feels quite small, again I think due to the cropping and resizing for the web. Have you tried using the save for web functionality that comes with many editing packages? This strips the exif data from the file this allowing you to retain better quality images when resizing for the web. I noticed that the exif data was still present in your file, so possibly you would have had a better quality file, if you had saved it for the web.

You got a pretty solid score for this image, I just felt with a few tweaks here and there, this could have scored a bit higher.

Put a smile on my face. It's one of those "feel good" shots. Great job!

This reviewer was wondering how many really good dog photos there would be in this challenge and it's been a joy reviewing so many great images. Two friends having a lot of fun, it demonstrates the joy of being able to run without barriers and play without fear. A terific capture and one worth every point of it's rating. Well done.
