Very nice, great DOF and interesting too (although I think you dyed the eggs, I don't think there are pink eggs in nature, but I could be wrong).

It would worked better to crop it so that Lassie is more centred.6

I think this is a good picture, but would be great if you cropped it a bit. Bring the right side in to just exclude the boy's brows, so that the pup is in the center of the pic.

Seems like a really good snapshot of your kid and dog. The boy's head being slightly cut off is my only real nitpick.

The Reward

I like this picture. good lighting and captures alot of emotion in a frame. I was reading your thread Rian - about your picture.
We have something, not as big, but similar where I live, Jersey a small island 14.4km by 8km off the coast of France. It is a walk which circles the whole of the island all the cliff paths, beaches and coastal ridges a total of 77.4km walk. It attacts people from all over the world and around half complete the walk. It starts at 3am and the first normally come in at mid day with the people bringing up the rear finishing around midnight.
I have completed it twice and plan on doing it again next year. The emotional part attached in taking part in a race is uncomprehendable until you finish. Especially for you with your time being so close to the cut off point. Amazing - well done.
However going off on your reward aspect - you should never have run the race with an injury and I have to admit us English are more laid back and might not agree with the saying \"everyone should do the Comrades once in their life\" I think we would rather watch!

Well done!
