"Nice catch" Richard.
A very good moment here. I love the determination look that the dog has to grab that disk. I would crop the top of the photo and maybe use a clone tool to add some grass on the top. Just to have the only the dog.
I've done a workshop

Je trouve que ton cadrage est très bien comme ça Richard. C'est vraiment une prise fantastique ! Superbe contribution pour la catégorie "Pet in action".

Impeccable timing on this shot.

It just couldn't be any better, Richard. You have caught the action with his mouth wide open. A great shot....

Let's see action ! What a great shot, many, many times tried ( I know what it is...)
I like the "snack" hanging in your picture, nice work, Richard !

I think you got the timing just right. The wide open mouth .... and all those teeth are excellent. This is not easy to capture, and you did fine freezing the frisbie. Great entry for the Scavenger Hunt.

Richard, I know the difficulties of taking 'moving dog' pictures only too well. This is a true success, a once-in-a-lifetime capture of this action: the frisbee about to be bitten ;o). Look at these fangs!
As you said, the compo is the 'least good' part of it, but who cares, the soon-to-be action is much more important. Beautiful. I tip my hat! A great entry for the SH.
TFS, TFS², GTF.
I like David's WS too, except for the motion effect on the frisbee.

Richard this is an excellent capture but I would crop down to just above the dog's head and in from the left.

Wonderful action shot Richard! As for your comments, it would be great if every shot were just as we would hope for but alas, not to be! A great shot just the same. I love it! God's best,

Il te manque peut-être des bouts des deux sujets mais pas de problème, au moins on voit très bien le chien en action, c'est lui la vedette après tout... La photo est très nette... pas mal bon Richard...

Belle capture du chien en pleine action, pas facile à réaliser avec un Finepix !
C'est vrai que j'aurai bien aimé un cadrage un peu plus large,
n'empêche cette image fonctionne bien. Fred.

Très belle photo d'un chien en plein action. Tu as vu juste et tu as de sacré réflexes pour avoir figé cette image au bon moment.

Par contre je vais être dur avec ma critique (si tu peux m'en excuser).

Je crois que les éléments du fond nous distraient du sujet de cette photo. Ta note nous explique bien ce que tu voulais faire mais j'aurais quand même aimé avoir un cadrage serré sur le chien.

L'atelier de davidao25 est excellent et rejoint plus le thême de ta photo.

Richard
great timing and a wonderful capture by both!!
maybe you should consider cloning out the person in the background ?

Wow, great stop action photo. I like the fact that the dog is at the extreme edge of the image, as if the image cannot contain him. Normally it would be better, I suppose, to have more room in front, but in this case, it works very well. Sharp, clear image.

Well Richard, consider it a new artform - Three cropped subjects: dog, owner and frisbee. It still tells the story it's supposed to tell, doesn't it? And you really released the shutter at the right moment. Congratulations. Oh yes, and the dof is pretty good as well.

Great timing and good "i don't care" compo. I like it a lot.

This one should be in "decisive moment". Great shot, anyway. Take care, Richard.

Belle prise que tu accompli là Richard, le genre de prise faite au bon moment, au centieme de seconde si je puis m exprimer ainsi ! Dommage pour la composition ! Les scenes d'action : C'est l un des plus dur exercise je pense en Photographie.

Great shot that u share here Richard, the kind of action shot that every photographer would dream about, the perfect timing, and you dealed with it. I love it, except for the composition... Action shots : that's the real tuff exercise !!!

Great shot!!!! So lucky to catch it just were you did, or maybe your camera is faster than mine! I have to guess ahead of time to catch things (too late even)....

Salut Richard,

Tu as vraiment capturé cette photo au bon moment, j'aime bien voir ce chien la bouche ouverte prete a se refermer sur ce frisbee. les couleurs et la clarté sont excellentes. Très bien réussi.

i love this picture! my dog is great at catching frisbees, and i love the style and grace dogs have when they jump up to grab one. very nice shot...it's a hard one to get! about your note...i think the half-of-owner is good for this picture, but i do see what you mean about wanting the rest of the dog. still a great picture though!
