An amazing viewpoint and something that one doesn't often see with darker faced dogs - rich and detailed facial expressions. While the image could use a little better crop, the vaguely detailed background compliments the intensity and joy of a fun run. An amazing image perfectly captured. One minor little technical issue in that the image is just slightly oversharpened, it is none the less a complete technical and artistic success. Should be a ribbon contender. Well done.

That doggy seems really happy. Maybe a touch overexposed. :~)

Even if he were facing us, this wouldn't be very interesting. The title doesn't help. It's just a guy on the phone. Sure it's candid, but candids are easy when you're subject is distracted and facing the other way. Try a hip shot next time and get in close...

In the ratings pass, this reviewer was uncomfortable rating this image - there are several levels of impact here which change every time it's viewed. After six views and a close inspection of the image, this reviewer has to rerate it from a 7 to a 9 because it has the technical quality one looks for in a high rated image even if it isn't as effective from an artistic standpoint - it lacks that certain "something" that makes it standout. It's still a cut above the highly rated images in this challenge. While not exactly a ribbon contender, this should place well in the challenge.

One of the few entries where the photographer knows what a candid photograph is. 8
