Back to comment.
This is my favorite image in this month's Free Study. The whole picture looks like a painting instead of a photograph and I think that is wonderful. The dog is backlit perfectly and I love the texture in the water.
Very well done! I will be looking forward to the end of the challenge to see who took this beauty!

The backlit dog is gorgeous. Love the tones in this. I might crop just a bit tighter on top and eliminate the overhanging tree to give the dog more prominence.

Oh, that's killer light. Bet this would have won sun-in-frame...

Took me a second, almost thought it was a cats face for a second until I noticed the hand.

Ha! Awesome capture!
One must've seen such balloon explosion shots before to make out that this is one I think, since the tell-tale sign of contracting balloon rubber is missing.
Leaving that hand in the pic is a nice touch...

Really nice photo, although I can't work out what's happening exactly, is the dart being thrown through a water balloon? Looks like a tree on a hill in the background to me.
