Wow! This should have scored better. I've been trying to do something like this with my own dog for months, and haven't quite accomplished it.

Tack sharp, great b/w, perfect composition. Congrats on 12th place, Bob. Btw, now that I've discovered that there's a world out there, I might take you up on that offer ;-)

generally, I like this, but something still does not sit quite right. Maybe too much dead space in the image between the dog and the person. However, I know that with an action shot like this, you get what you get. No posing!

Perfect composition. Love the dog's stop action and expression. Well done.

If I were to wager a guess, I'd say this is TacTZilla's work. Awesome composition, great action capture. Love to know how you do the focus for this type of shot.

the stopped action, the dog at rest/attention, and the trainer are the only focal points - a perfect use of b/w to concentrate the points of interest

Wonderful shot. Love the DOF and the great sharp focus on the DOG. Back to bump you up to 9.

Superb action shot. Loads happening in it and it is very effective in B&W as opposed to colour.

Fun shot! Made me chuckle. :) I like your use of DOF to drive my eye to the dog.

Did you teach that dog to fly? :)
