Steve,
A beautiful tropical sunset with the Palm trees in silhouette on the other side of the beach, while in the foreground in silhouette a man, a Boy playing with his dog is enjoying a game of "Tug of War" with what looks like a long stick. The beautiful colours in the sky behind the Palm Trees are reflected on the wet sands behind the man, the boy & the dog. Beautiful composition, framing * lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from John Kotalac


Great title, but the dog is cheating two on one. Plus it looks like he really really wants that stick. All that aside, the background is amazing. Great job catching those colors. It looks like a very peaceful and beautiful place you are at . Thanks TOP. Hope you have a nice turkey day tomorrow. John

You get my six sir. This is a gorgeous picture. Everything works together. The skyline, the trees, the water, the action. You have really shown you talent in this one.

I think this is a very cute entry with a familiar dog behavior being exhibited. The scenery is gorgeous! The sunset colors in the sky and reflected on the water are lovely. I like the playful capture of the pup.

Indeed this is far away from the usual candid pet shot and portrait as possible. The dog and its two people make a good team. It is clear that the are playing. The background is as unusual as are the silhouettes of dog and peoples. The sunrise sky and is reflections are impressive. The silhouettes of the land and palm trees emphasize the beautiful colors remarkably. The mixed media is excellently framed. The composition is balanced.

This is an awesome sunset scene! The sky in the vibrant gold with red clouds , the trees and land separating sky and water in silhouette, the beautiful reflections on the water, on the beach in front a man plays tug of war with his big dog, as another person watches, the silhouette of the two men and dog are awesome, they bring life and add interest to this scene ,
Nice stop of the action here , well focused, this image is clear, exposure is managed well.
I love dogs! I have worked with them for many years, this game is a no no , I know it's a popular activity though ! Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Certainly looks like a battle of strength and will are taking place out there in that beautiful sunset. Your fine and traditional composition offers us a good look at that evening action. Exposure an sharpness are good. Wonder who won? Well taken!
