Thank you for all the great comments. I took this picture at the Dog Park in Encino, CA. I don't own any dogs. The two dogs are mother and daughter. I did take several pictures of jumping dogs but none of them was clear enough to submit and not get the "needs better focus" comment. This picture took two sessions at the dog park.
I think you caught the moving dogs very well. I like the way the paws of the dogs are synchronized. One minor point though: the small parts of the trees in the background are a little disturbing, especialy the one behind the dogs tail.
Great catch, and well focused and exposed. A slightly higher point of view would have resulted in a better background, but you've got to grab these as you can (and there's always Photoshop).
it;s a funny pic, nice idea and the dogs are cute. hmm, i just wish both of their tongues were out, and their tales were at the same angle. then it would be super symmetry!
Very cool picture! Though it definitely would have been tough to coordinate, I'd like this picture more without the trash can and trees in the upper part of the frame.
Just being a stickler here, I would have tried to get a shot with the dogs' tails away from all the trees and such in the background. It also feels a little washed out to me, a darker exposure and more contrast might help.
This is a very nice photo. The contrast and composition is excellent. One of the subtleties of this photo that sets off the 'stopped motion' challenge is the collar tag from the dog on the left. It's suspended ! Good job!
GREAT capture ! The beautiful colors really add to this. The only thing I would think could have made it a bit better is to be down lower or crop out the top a bit, but that might take part of his tail:( .
