I wanted to do a pool shot with Snoopy, but as its winter the pools are all closed, so the sea had to do. It was an overcast day so cold for the both of us. We both headed out to the end of a pier and I jumped in. A friend then handed me my camera in my housing in one hand and smelly in the other and I swam out. Smelly swam like a champion. Didn't want to tire her so it was a very fast shoot.I Liked this shot the best.I wanted more of a over and under shot but was just to difficult as she was swimming and I too was swimming next to her while shooting.
Got dry and headed home.
Shot in my housing with 2 Ds 125 Ikelite strobes.
Tks again Smelly!

Not a bad image, not really a portrait, more of an action shot but still an excellent image in this challenge, glad to see it place well and thanks for the photographer comments:)
I really love this photo. It made me smile. I can feel the energy of Snoopy. He's a survivor! I also love the wave as it shows the strong current. I'm not sure how this entry will score but I hope it does well ... knowing how DPC voters vote :) This photo is very unique and it stands out from the rest. It's creative. It shows the personality of the dog. The photo tells the story and gives us a glimpse of Snoopy's hobby. A lot could be told in this simple photo. I wish he's my dog! :) Good luck! 10!
I like this photo only if Snoopy was having fun - he's got a rather intense, worried look to his eyes. However, I'll assume he was loving it - so neat perspective and great shot!
This one made me smile.... with amazement. Nice surf action shot. Bumping this up on review, after a second look. This is the most unique image in this challenge. 9
Excellent clarity with deep depth of field really makes this POP. The contrast is great, action evident, and subject clearly enjoying the shoot. WELL DONE 9.
