Excellent, love the transparency of the hands, and the sharp detail on the foreground cymbal.

like the black and white. Would have used a higher shutter speed to get a sharp stop action on the hands, personally.

Dogs having fun is a natural and this captures the open spirit and nature of pure joy of a dog's life. They ask so little and give so much that it's a pleasure to see an author capture them in thier natural fun loving state. A beautiful image and a complete technical and artistic success. Well done.

HEE HEE - I love how shepherd/collie snouts make them look like they are smiling. :~) Nothing better than a dog with a stick. Maybe a touch tight with the crop but great focus. This made me smile.

very creative. Also, the way the hi hats kind of frame the bottom is great. Nice work.

Once again, this challenge seems to be providing submitters with reasons to move into humorous mode and produce some great images. This clearly meets the criteria, although a different title would have helped the image be a little more ambiguous giving the viewer an excuse to really look at the image. A good solid entry into the challenge presented with a sense of whimsy. Well done.
