Run... little puppie, run...

Another try to catch a moving object - it is not my best skill.

There’s very good detail in the head, face, and brisket with the tail and legs still giving a strong sense of motion. I like the image a lot, but might have liked it even more with a little darker background in the upper portions of the image.

agree with BF- this is quite nice!

I agree; it is a nice image, but I think a different shooting position would have made it even better. Positioning yourself for a 3/4 profile rather than a full profile would have, I think, given a little more interest.

love the expression on the little guy's face - total focus of where he/she is going!

Thanks for looking and commenting :-). This dog was one of many puppies in the dog club, where my sister is training the “puppie course”. I catched the picture during a little test for the puppie`s binding (obligation?) to their owners. It was funny to watch the little ones, if they would follow the call of theirs master’s at the other side of the training place. Some dawdling and other really eager – like this black one.

About another angle for shooting this photo ;-): It wasn’t easy to kneel down among all the little dogs. Once you do, most of them are “attacking” you, because they want to play with you and your camera :-). So I always have had to look for my “model” and the “attackers” on the other side – there wasn’t much time to think about the quite right angle!

I like this one! Good work on the movement! The head is in great focus.

If you bring the green and yellow levels down, clone some darker grass in the top area this would work better. I saved it to my desktop and did some work on it quickly and it is fixable in post. I'll post my version if you like. It's a pretty good moving puppy image all the same. I like it.

Cute dog! ^^ I really like how the head is in focus but the legs aren't. Like Barefoot said, it gives it a really strong sense of motion!

I really like it. I thin kthe side profile looks great. Makes the little guy look like he's totally absorbed by what he running towards.

A little curves treatment might be enough to darken that brighter section.
