Charlie is the COOOOOOLEST dog! I love everything about your dog! He is doing a fine job body surfing riding out that wave with his nose up.
Great stop action, fine focus and nice exposure.
Nice work! ;)

A very unusal dog photo. A really well captured shot of Charlie in the midst of the wave with his owner nearby. I can see his paw outstrectched and he looks like he is doing really well at riding the wave. Good selection for the contest. Good luck!

Very good entry for the contest. Great storytelling ability as the lovely Charlie learns to surf the waves. I love the movement you captured in the sea and like the angle you used for this. Lighting and focus very good. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

I did. The wording was funny: it said one shouldn't need notes not that they were prohibited. But I took your advice. Thanks Paula

Thanks Paulah!

Comment from MKFlood
Wow! Is it a new sport..dog surfing humans? Im sure the bigger the human the easier for the dog right? Wink..lol. The clarity is good. The angle of the shot of the dog and girl in water is good. The capture of the light is good., the image is balanced and eye interesting to the viewer. Good eye and good job overall
