a wet dog

playing at the dog beach.

I would be inclined to crop the top part of the picture.

the pic is underexposed... dog's eye ar not glaring at all. the upper side of the image is completely dark. Possible solutions: 1. use a lighter lens - this is not cheap but it helps avoiding underexposures while stopping the movement. 2. use a faster film.. actually u can buy very good 400 iso films with few grains... if u don't have to make a 50x70 poster this remains a good and cheap solution. 3. don't shoot pictures at noon... and in any case don't shot agains the sun... in your picture the dog's shadow tells me that the sun was rather high... this way u cast too shadows....

I do like this photo - I think that the generally blank space above could stand to be cropped down some, but you've done a pretty good job of catching the dog moving through the waves. Sometimes, you just have to take the shots where they lie.
