Shep, the border collie belongs to my friend, Jackie.
Shep, who 8 year old, still absolutely loves competing and regularly does compete at trials. As he is coming out of this hoop,he is already focused on his next move. A real pro!

His back gets sore from time to time and requires treatment. There is an awful lot of twisting and turning at speed with agility trials,and it can be hard on the body!

Fanatastic action shot, you've caught the moment with this one. Excellent composition, very well saturated colours and another excellent frame

Hi Joni

What a terrific shot of this happy dog! It is great that he enjoys it so much, but too bad it bothers his back! :( Does it help to have the back massaged?

Great photo with the dog focused on his next move. Nice to capture him coming out of the orange ring as it's a perfect "frame" for the dog.

Nothing like the love shared between dog and owner! Give him a doggie treat from his U.S. friend (a "snoodle") named "Buddy"! Lisa

Hello Joni,
excellent composition and, what's more, you managed to capture the very right moment when the dog was "flying" through the ring - not earlier - not later! It's difficult to take such photos.
thank you for sharing!
Elena
PS animals are the best to take photos of! :)

Very nice action shot. Shep's focus is well captured. The diagonal of all the jumps is good too. It looks like Shep's face is slightly over exposed though. Hard to get around without PP though. TFS. K2

Great frame,good job,

Hi, Joni -
Great action shot of this border collie. The look on the dog's face easily matches the intensity of any human athlete performing his/her sport. The obstacles are vibrant colors. Great capture.

Excellent shot in the perfect moment... i love the shotç... is really great!!!... congratulations by this... TFS...

Hi Joni,
Great action shot of Shep effortlessly cruising through this ring. Great focus and clarity to this difficult fast expousre capture.
I have a border-collie mix that is 10 years old and still full of energy.
Regards, Tom

A beautiful in motion shot Joni and what a lovely border collie. I had no idea that they get such a twist as they jump, preparing for the next obstical. Lovely and sharp with a good range of colours, you have captured the moment well.

Thanks for your kind words for Puffing Billy.
