Sorry I don't see the beauty or technique demonstration of this photo.

It's simple and without any interest. Not without interest because is simple, but without interest because is a really boring composition.

I really don't understand wy so many people voted and comented this particular shot, in others even if I don't like it I can understand why others like.

My feeling is the only person who would like this is the dog's owner, just as a kid running behind a ball would be for the parents. I'm shure there is a lot of photos of pets or kids running behind a ball that are interesting even as a photo and not only for the owners/parents, but this one is in my opinion... empty.

I'm sure even the autor will agree with me when I say this shot is the worse of his beauiful gallery.

I admire Perez for his controversial opinion. I understand his position. I can see where this might seem like a simple shot with your eye falling dead center onto the dog. I think what makes this a photo worthy of comment is the action image in contrast to the sharp crisp detail shown. There have been questions posted regarding exposure and settings and I'm also interested in that reply. And, someone mentioned that this was an unaltered image. Is that so? or has the image been sharpened as the edges seem almost unrealistic.

Whether a dog lover or not, this image captures and creates a response and isn't that what we're all about?

Just happened onto this great photo and anyone who does not see the unadulterated joy in this dog's face, along with it's obvious jest for life; well, they're so dead they obviously won't post any photos of their own to show us how it really should be done!

shot of the rarely seen flying snow dog

superb - love the shadow on the snow

Unmanipulated

a single uninterrupted exposure

cropping to taste

common adjustments to the entire image, e.g., color temperature, curves, sharpening, desaturation to black and white

dust spots on sensor cloned out

According to PN, common sharpening is not considered munipulating.

I think this is a great image. There is movement, good composition, emotion, and for what it is worth, warm fuzzies. Great shot. Congrats.
