I took this the first day of the challenge. Our dog, Biscuit, can get excited and will run in circles in our back yard. I took it with my cell phone as she zoomed past me. I took a lot more pictures during the week with my Canon, but I kept coming back to this one. I like the textures, the one one visible paw and the curl of hair by her ear. While it may be a cheap imitation, it features some themes you can find in Mr. Spurgeon's work: 1) the family dog, 2) head out of frame, and 3) unique perspective.
I did not do a lot to it of processing. I did not crop any, but I did clone out the tip of my shoe that I caught as I shot down at her. Converted it to B/W in SEP 2 and tweaked a few settings.

Gorgeous texture and swirl. I debated entering images like this, but I thought they were more ME than ben... so it's gratifying to see someone else put this in. If this is my wife, you are a genius. You must have inverted it, and that made all the difference. 9

I think this was an Aerosmith song that I used to like ... not sure how it wound up here or why but I like the picture too.
