Release the hounds!

Cool...

Happy this did well, as I quite like it myself.

Answering the comments during the challenge, I didn't crop it tighter as I wanted to keep the lock and hinges to show the context of the cage/kenel they were in.

I believe there were 16 dogs in that one kenel, but it is quite large. There were two kenels/cages in the back of a truck, with other windows for the dogs to see out, but the view of the door really caught my eye.

Interesting that only one person knew they were fox hounds, and no-one picked up on them being for the hunt. Just shows you that not many rural english folks are on DPC :-).

Thanks for your votes and comments.

Cheers, Me.

8 - Good. Good expressions/poses captured. Visually looks like it needs a nudge up on the right, but not sure. Only other thing is seems to be a slight 'haze' (but could be my monitor) - so perhaps a little more contrast/depth/etc.

I really like this, but a tighter crop would do great for this picture.

I really like this. Fox Hounds?? Perfect for the challenge. I almost wish you'd backed up just a smidge. 8
