Excellent frozen action. Particularly like your capture of the flying water droplets and the dog's intent expression.

This is fantastic! The beautiful dog, the eyes looking straight at you, and the water, etc.

This excellent photo shows the connection between a pet and the owner. The eyes show a strong bond.

Location
In the River In Warrenville Illinois.Time

Nope.Equipment
Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 80-400 AF VR Zoom.Inspiration
While taking my normal outdoor shots walking up the river in the water this Dog that was new to the area spotted me. I was in full camo with my face covered too. He looks this intense because I think I startled him while at play. I thought it would be great to get an action shout while it was coming for me and did.Editing
I just checked and nothing was done to this one.In my camera bag
Nikon D800 D90 Nikon 80 to 400 and Nikon 18 to 105. Extra batteries and several back up cards It is hard to fill 32 but why take the chance.Feedback
Get some waders and some good foot ware for walking in the river and cover it with full camo and do not be afraid to get wet. Walk slow and take it all in.
