While I was shooting some of the wonderful bird-life out on Miami's South Beach on a Sunday morning, I spotted a dog swimming back to shore. He was just so comfortable out in the surf it was amazing. He came ashore and had the biggest smile on his face.............. definitely getting a "taste" of the good life. Enjoy

Just beautiful, I love the wave action in the upper left! The colors are wonderful, and the Dog looks so happy and pleased with himself! #5510765Eivor Kuchta February 18, 2008
That's one happy dog! I like the soft, curved lines in the background, drawing my eye towards the dog. The waves in the corner gives the picture an extra touch, lets me know where the dog has been out playing. #5511005Aimee C. Eisaman February 18, 2008

Nice photo Michael.Jayme S. Hall February 21, 2008
Michael- Your subject is super, I love his tongue way up there & the stop action of the water beads. His tail up & only 2 paws on the ground! You pushed the button at just the right second! I also like the gentle arcs or curves created by the water reaching out for the sand & then the nice blue sky reflection in this water. I like the long shadow of the dog in the sand, indicates the earliness of the day :) It's certinaly a super capture! #5525424Gail R. Schuett February 22, 2008
