Black Labrador Retriever, at a CO state wildlife area, wading in the river for ducks (or at least the decoys at that time). Almost did no editing, but couldn't resist putting the dog in the bottom third, which in turn removed some slightly distracting tree branches. Slight level adjustment, and USM at 85 1 4.

though beautiful, I think the sky could have been cropped to just above the single white cloud above the tree line. It would add enough light to the image, but would accentuate the dog silouette. As it is now, the light and dark sections of the photo create a visual split - creating 2 images to the viewer.
Gosh.. just scrolling down and eliminating the sky altogether creates a beautiful negative space image. You really have 2 fantastic images out of this one photo.
Nice work!
I love the orange in this sky! It's so vibrant and rich! But the rest of the shot really gets me, the dog and pond actually end up being a distraction for me, if the shot had been cropped higher and really concentrated on the sky and horizon this would have scored much higher with me. Started with a 3 but bumping up to a 7 after another look :)
Gorgeous sky, I love the color. The trees and brush in silhouette really enhance both the color and the use of light in this image. The reflection of the sky in the lake/river adds a nice counterpoint and the dog brings additional interest. Beautiful. 7
magnificient color and tones! Very very peaceful and serene! I love the dog in the shot...adds some interest to it! I'm giving this a 10 because I think the lighting is just superb!
