The Chase 3

This will be the last in this series. Mia has made up lost ground and the chase is about to turn and go the other way.  Lily got a little in front of the focus point so the attention is again focused on Mia's expression. I won't see these two for several more weeks, and the mayhem will start again.

Comments and critiques are appreciated. Thanks to all those who have commented in the past.

This has been a great series, Jerry, all well taken. This has to be my favorite, despite the small focus flaw. This is so dog!devil

Best of the bunch, with both dogs in crisp focus and the obvious interaction.  Nicely done, Jerry.

Hi Jerry,

I quite like this one too, but my slight preference lies with your previous post. I might feel differently if the focus was on Lily and not slightly behind her. I realize this would soften the great look Mia is giving, but my preference almost always lies with having the closest subject in focus (in situations - like this one - where's it just not possible to have both subjects in focus).

Thanks for posting the series - very nicely done overall and I quite enjoyed it!

Cheers...

Brad

The faces say "Gotcha" and "Not yet" cool The focus and DOF work well for me.
