Let's Play!

I'm sharing this as much for the love of dogs as for photography. Piper loved the deep snow of Central Oregon last month, and despite the hunter-repelling orange jumpsuit I make her wear when offleash out there, she had a blast fetching sticks, catching snowballs in her mouth and chasing our sleds down the hill.

Feedback welcome, but really just showing off my long-eared mutt with her very expressive play bow.

Hi,

Nothing wrong with a long-eared mutt--she's very photogenic. That hunter orange coat fits her well too. Your photo of Piper looks nice and you caught her in a wonderful play posture............................Jim

Marylynne,
Looks like Piper is doing her 'Doggie Yoga'. Beautiful dog and you nailed the exposure on the image.
Well done . . . laugh

Piper"s jumpsuit helps present the overall image of a great athlete! Her facial expression looks like she is waiting for the start horn to sound. Good capture! Only comment photographically is she needs more space on the Rt and Lt edges.
