The story makes it! I love it, esp as a former American football player (I know, a confusing, weenie sport). Great self portrait.

HA! This is great. I now have a different perspective of you. (heh) This needs to be your profile pic. I love it - your machismo pic. It shows a lot of character. I am so certain now that no one is going to call you a girly man.

One thing I must say tho - I do not think this pic needed that subtle boxline. It's actually a distraction in this case.

As for Daisy, why not print this up as a poster, autograph it, and hang it in her bedroom. Then she can use it to impress her girlfriends when they come for a visit. ;)

You are silly! Great story, and great self portrait. I must say, you look a bit intimidating!

GREAT action shot, Jon! I love the direct eye contact you got with the dog on the right. Was he yours?

And btw, the border is stunning. Looks like you're a quick learner!

Three legged critters...tips...don't even know what this means lol. wow I am still in the slow lane today...

The more I look at this the more the dog in the back (who is muzzled??) really freaks the heck out of me. He looks possessed. So I can see why the two in front are running for their lives.

As for the photo, it's a great motion capture. Looks like you caught them out of the gate. And the fact that you caught two of them looking at you - the scared leader in front and the possessed one (come on, look at it!) in back - really draws the viewer in.
