...it seems Dingo was thinking, after he came out of the Atlantic. Or maybe he was just being shy about having to shake off the water ;o).

Just some basic beach fun for a dog. The land in the background is the coast near Cap de la Chèvre. The white spots on the beach are fragile old crab shells.

Another great picture of Dingo, Frank! He seems so serious looking straight at you wondering what is happening. I like his shadow on the right side and part of his reflection on the left side (actually, it might have been interesting to get the entire reflection as then you would have had 3 dogs!!!) His ball abandonned at his feet is a nice addition but seems to be in the mouth of the shadow. Nice background as well. Well done!

A very vivid picture for a rather rigid Dingo Frank !
They don't do sunglasses for dogs yet, do they ? :-)
The contrasts are excellent (because of the wet fur ?) and the ball indicates his "occupation". You make your dog look special in each picture. I call it "love thy subject" ;-)

Love the photo Frank and not to be lazy but Suzanne did mention most of the good points. I'll will add excellent exposure..... for the lighting here is really great and just alive. Dingo's stance is ideal with no leg crossing over another legs plane. The wetness is great along with that seering but humbled glance into your direction. He does look serious to an extent. Almost like alright, alright another photo for TL, Frank.....alright!....."Now can I get back to my ball" :O)
Ok and my observation for today....His ears being aligned with the background horizon. The ears should break the plane of the horizon more or less than what you have here. Ok, done with that....
Such a beautiful dog Frank....TFS.

LOL! Another version of our lovely Dingo: the wet model! :)

Very nice photo with great lighting and color. Nice one Frank!

Welcome back Dingo - glad to see you are still full of fun and enjoying taking Frank around with you. You know he doesn't do a bad job of taking your picture - he gets the lighting and composition spot on - but we all know it's you posing for him that makes the shot!

Regards from Monty & Quizzy

Very serious looking dog this Dingo. Seems he's not enjoying his vacation at the sea. Well of course, all the dogs around speak French! Nice shot! Apart from the dog, I like all the details on the beach, and the lovely colours. Now, what do I smell: the brine or the wet dog! TFS!

A very nice one Frank, it seems Dingo don't like the salted water. A very nice shot!
Best regards
Guy

It's look like Dingo read a children story... Is those white little rocks are let behind to make shure he find hes way :o)

A good natural shot! Nice!

Hi Frank

I like the warm cold opposition, between the yellow / red coat of the dog, & the blue cyan of the sea. Excellent sharpness & lighting. Good work!

"Hi there Dingo, did you have a good holiday?"
I think Dingo thinks it's your turn to run into the water Frank and he'll throw the ball to you.
Another wonderful father/son playtime photo. Good one!

Great portrait Frank, full of character. Sharp as a pin with great detail, terrific work. TFS

Peter

Another great shot of your star model "Dingo", I like the expression and the low level shot. Nicely balanced lighting and well presented.

It's been a while since Dingo was here, so this is a real treat for me today. I love the composition where Dingo is standing diagonally, and the water's edge is the opposite diaginal. I like how you got down to his level to compose the shot. It's more personal that way. I only wish his eyes were a little lighter. Looks like Dingo really enjoyed his swim in the sea. Cute to see his tennis ball there on the sand. He certainly looks like he is in good shape Frank.

A great shot of Dingo Frank. I like the wet fur effect, it makes a great contrast to the nice muted seaside colours of the sea and the sand. The shadow and reflections are also great in this nice composition.

A big hello to our dear friend Dingo. And a special photo for me as he is on the beach!
Sharp focus and good catch of his expression. Lovely beach...TFS this special photo....:O)

Hi Frank,

Excellent shot of Dingo. Well done on the compo.
I thought those were Dingo's marshmallows on the beach. ;)

Mike

Great shot of Dingo Frank, I take it that's his ball.

LOL... I'm, with Dawn.. lol..
"Oh..oh.. his palying with that funny looking contraption again. Although I don't know why he always points it at me??!!??"
Another fine photo of Dingo,
well done Frank the wife and I are realling enjoying the Dingo photos :))

Frank, excellent composition, sharpness and contrast. The colours are superb, but the model is fantastic.
Thanks for sharing,
Hugs to you my friend,
Liz

Hello Frank, Beautiful composition and he looks so serious here:) I think he wants you to join him and play with the ball..

Je hond heeft zo veel uitdrukking dat ik niet weet wat eerst te bekijken...:-) Maar deze vind ik toch fantastisch. Wat een 'gezicht'! "Moet je me net nu fotograferen?" Heh, prachtig :)
Mooie kader, past heel goed.
