Sophie coming out of the tunnel at an agility event.
Sophie is a real pro at these agility events. She has been to the national All Ireland trials at the Royal Ulster Agricultural Show at Balmoral several times. Last year Sophie was third in the singles and this year was first in the pairs.
Sophie lives to compete as does her owner, Jackie.

Joni,
Nice action shot of this dog in competition. The detail is good and colors are wonderful. Nice timing on the shot.
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Joni
Lovely action shot, clear and sharp on the main subject and a nicely out of focus background. The PP work is very nicely done and as ever finished off with a neat frame
Regards

Excellent colour definition, contrast and sharpness here, Joni. Good cloning work, though I (think I) can see where you cloned: upwards from between her front paws, right? There's a halo around the brim of the tunnel and around her belly, and some repetitive patterns in the grass. Not too noticeable, but you might consider changing brush size, hardness and initial location frequently, that makes it easier. The halo can be avoided, or at least minimised, if you make a selection of things that cannot be touched and copy them to a new top layer.
Compo-wise, I'd love to see more space in front of Sophie. In speedy sports, like agility, space in front of the dogs enhances the sense of speed...
Just my 2 cents!

Hi Joni,
Ok I'm partical to labs and this is a fine specimen clearly seen against the lush green grass as she eagerly does which she loves with a passion us poor humans can only envy.
May she forever remain young.
Reagers, Tom

wow I do like dog shows really cool. This is really cool shot.

Another lovely action shot Joni, all the dogs you have shown in this series seem to be enjoying the competition. You have cropped this one nicely with Sophie leading out for the frame.
