Great shot, very difficult to capture this one!! Don't think 'eager' describes that look though.....obsessive maybe!

This is my second go-around =) - Wow, his/her eyes are really focused on that ball! haha. Very funny portrait! I only wish his face was more in focus (at least his eyes), however, I know that this is a difficult shot to take... GREAT JOB!

Freaky-but I like it. Makes an interesting take on the challenge..I like that you have given your dog context.

Great capture, hope he caught it after all that work! Nice snapshot but not really a portrait and while the eyes have a great expression, the ball ends up being more a distraction then really adding to the shot for me. The blur on his body is expected in an action shot like this but the mouth threw me just a bit. If it all could have been in focus (the face area that is) this would be a great addition to your scrapbook of memories. A 4

This one makes me laugh every time I see it! I find the background distracts just a little, but overall a good shot.
