[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Noa has always much pleasure in the water with a ball.
That is one of her most important thing in her live. More than food, what is also very important. Now she is 2 years old, very athletic.
She is a labrador and the most of these are to fat, she has no time to grow bigger.
I forgot to say, we did not make a deal with Dunlop.


I used shadow/Highlight, levels and smart sharpen.

The sun was cought very harshly in the water, and because of that, the camera overexposed almsot every water ripple, and because of this, the dogs face is very underexposed. Not alot you could have done to save this, just be aware daylight with the bright sun overhead doesnt do favorable things, especially when it refelcts directly into the camera.

It's a nice action shot, Anneke... lovely motion of the water, the very thin tail (I'm always amazed at that, Dingo "suffers" from that too when he's swimming) adds a nice touch. IMO you should use fill flash in conditions like this, for Noa's face is too dark - we can hardly see her eyes... this is caused by the water that reflects so much light that it fools your camera's light meter.
If you don't want to use flash, try using an exposure compensation of +1 or even +2 - some experimenting is necessary ;o).
Anyway, I love the compo. TFS.
Does she like to play with a frisbee too ?
