Description

f/11.0, 1/200, 18-200mmVR@130mm, DSC_12066, 8:01AM, ISO200

This is a Labrador "Waterdog" that the owner (who I met out on Miam"s South Beach while we were both standing at the shoreline marveling at a developing waterspout just offshore) explained to me is a distinct breed of which I was not aware. Here, with tennis ball in mouth, he was happily awaiting his owner's return from a little swim. Edits done with Apple's iPhoto. Enjoy!

Great capture, Michael! The light is wonderful, the image well composed. I like the water drops from his tail. From the motion blur of his tail, and the directions of the water drops, you can see he's wagging his tail, excited about something out there. That gives more life to the image. Good job! #5785534
