[photo] My dog playing in the water

Great action shot. That's a really nice looking pit.

Very nice photo. My only comment would be that a slightly lower speed shot would have produced just a bit of motion blur, which would have accentuated the effect. But still, very nice shot.

What camera do you have?

Thanks! He's a great dog. Basically like having a big kid around.

Thanks for the critique. I'm heading out to the same area again today, so I'll give that a try.

i'd agree if it would be hard to tell if the subject were moving (like a car on a road), but i think since it is so easy to see the motion of the dog and water, the clarity trumps motion blur. just my humble opinion .

great shot RONE!

Awesome! I just got an XSi and that's a great pic, so I am happy.

Thanks eric.

I shot this one today at 1/800. Still no water blur. I'll have to try 1/500 and 1/400 next time I'm out to see how it looks. I'm happy with how this one came out:

And two more that I like from today:

Irrespective of the photographic merits of this effort, it is clear that your dog is having a great time! I am sure that he/she would be delighted to have you continue to forever improve this shot!!

So far, my favorite is your first shot. The perspective if perfect for the motion you are trying to capture.

He loves going out there. I actually take both of my dogs out there and it's like turning a pair of kids loose in a candy store.

You've hit the nail on the head as to why the first image looks the most 'oriented', for lack of a better word. I knew I liked it the best, but until your post I wasn't sure why. Thanks!


EDIT: I can't talk about my other dog without posting a picture of her!
