Why not rename the title of the pic to 'Doggy Rampage' or 'Killer on the loose' ?

Don't you just love the big smirk on his face ? :D

1 4-month old Aussie
1 4oz. sample vial of red paint

Mix well.

He seemed quite pleased with himself -- expressing his artistic side I think.

thanks for all the comments!

To answer the questions:

1. Yes... he did catch it!
2. I had two photo sessions of about 15-20 tosses each. I took 5-6 shots of each toss. I have a lot of outtakes that show frisbee and grass, dog and grass, and just grass. I got nothing useful out of the second session. the shots were set up by tossing the frisbee near the bottom of an 8' ladder with the camera aimed as close to straight down as possible -- I was trying to get a nice circle from the frisbee rather than an oval.
3. The photo wasn't edited -- levels, saturation, curves, USM. I spent a lot of time trying to un-blow the blown white areas. When the dog is jet-black with bright white highlights -- not to mention the white frisbee, it's kinda tricky.
4. I didn't give him a bone for catching it -- I gave him another toss instead (which he appreciates more than a bone anyway! He pretty much lives to play frisbee)

Regarding the frisbee not being stopped -- I actually experimented with shutter speeds to try and get a little spin-motion of the printing on the frisbee. So the fact that the frisbee is not stopped clearly was an "artistic choice" on my part. I appreciate the comment, but I'm happy with the motion there.

Thanks for all the positive comments!
