Molly a mix breed who loves to jump not sure she's as poetic as she is fast... Speed is her thing..
OMG! Am in disbelief..Many, many, thanks to all of You:)..
AND
Special thanks to my sister who coaxed Molly thru numerous jumps and leaps..Speed is her thing and when i 1st saw the Challenge i was excited as Molly came to mind immediately. She's an ordinary dog and never expected to exceed my expectations...
AM so pleased!!!

Oh no!!! I am so sorry! I'm sending you and Molly a big hug too! I know its "a challenge" to stay in the rules -- but sometimes -- the restrictive rules just keep us from being able to make our photos the best they can be! This is so amazing -- and you will treasure it forever. Long after the challenge is forgotten. I think I woul rather have a photo exactly like this of my beloved "furry child" than a high placing in a challenge anyway.
Jane, so sorry. Don't worry too much about this. I had a similar DQ myself.
FWIW , everything said about the shot still stands. It is a fantastic shot !!! and you should be proud of this.
OMG JANE .. wot happened .. !!??
i'm wondering if wotever you cloned out would'v affected your amazing score and place in the challenge .. possibly not .. its a real bummer .. i'm so sorry ..
sending you a great big hug .. :)x
just get out there and knock 'em dead in the next appropriate challenge .. !!..:)
I take it you cloned out some kind of object under the dog? There looks to be some cloning work in the background (semi-identical out of focus objects, et al).
Unfortunate, but almost definitely a major object if so.
There really should have been 5 ribbons in this challenge... so many great shots, and this one deserved a ribbon too.... an HM isnt a bad thing though. Congrats on the huge score, and the PB. My only 10 in this challenge.
Should have done better in my opinion, hope its your own Dog so you can appreciate your Shot more.
Very difficult to Photograph a Black Dog, Havnt seen your comments but they probably Moan about the Crop and the Tree but all things being equal, its a really good image.
Well Done
VERY well done, Jane - an excellent capture full of energy and personality! Congrats on the 7 score, the Honorable Mention star, and a new personal best!
i looked thru the challenge and when i came to this one i was blown away ..
was hoping like mad it would do well in this challenge with the birds and exotic stuff .. an ordinary dog doing wot dogs do .... its the most amazing shot .. catching a dog at high speed like that, coming straight towards you is no mean feat .. CONGRATULATIONS on the HM, such a great place in the challenge and a killer shot .. :)
9 - Excellent capture and clarity. I like the unusual composition, especially with the subtle trees in the background and the good texture on the grass.
This is my favourite of the many dog captures. Why? Because you've got down low (whether on your belly or making use of an incline) to take the photograph from below the animal's position. Amongst all the other's taken from a higher perspective, this one stands out as really representing the joyous leap of the dog. It's also a lovely capture in terms of light in his eyes, detail in his fur and clean and uncluttered background with well-chosen DOF.
Oh man! This is GREAT! Not a hint of blur where it is not supposed to be, complete with soul and the personality of this awesome animal radiating from this photo! Fabulous job!
I just decided to look at the thumbnails, with no intention of voting yet, and this is the first one that caught my eye. My immediate reaction was "this is awesome". Really well captured, great DOF. I hope you do really well.
An amazing viewpoint and something that one doesn't often see with black dogs - rich and detailed facial expressions. While the image could use a little better crop, the vaguely detailed background compliments the intensity and meaningful purpose behind the leap. An amazing image perfectly captured. One minor little technical issue in that the image is just slightly oversharpened, it is none the less a complete technical and artistic success. Should be a ribbon contender. Well done.
