A young GSP powers through a still pond with the mallard he's retrieving

to his handler. Thanks for visiting.

Nice Matt. Perfect DOF. I might be tempted to remove the reflection of the nose? For me it is hard to discern what is going on with that and my eyes fell right to it. I would at least try it.

Cheers, Sam

Thanks all. Sam: I've got versions of this without the nose. The slight swell in the placid water - right in front of the "bow wave" the dog is making - causes a really unlikely bit of curved reflection. When I first saw it, I thought, "What the..." but it actually grew on me. It's a reminder of how counter-intuitive reflections in disturbed water can be. It was certainly a new one on me, that's for sure. Seen larger, it's easier to tell what's going on.

I think it's ridiculous how good you are with these shots. Each new one seems to be better still. Impressive.

I like the shot! and once the nose issue is away with larger look one is comfortable with the shot:)

Good intensity in the dog's eys makes it perfect. BR Hannu
