Top of the shelf. Simplistic, creative and strong. Love the tree in the corner as it gives strength to the post. Really nice one.

Well done for these photos,this is the best one

Congratulations on 1st, 2nd and 4th, Clearly shows your love of dogs.

Congrats Mark she's gorgeous

I'm the site sponsored psychic Glad I predicted this win and for my prize I'm coming over for your next BBQ....deal ?

BIG CONGRATULATIONS on this mouthwatering win.

Really a great shot. You have come down to the dog's eye level and the image is sharp sharp sharp, without oversharpening. Your tonal contrasts are nicely done as well. Best of all you have captured an emotion and that really rocks my boat. Top notch. I predict a winner here.

Congrats !

Well done,made me hungry this

Congrats Mark

Congratulations Mark

Congrats Mark

Lovely shot

Close enough to make my mouth water and to offer you my fearless prediction...that this is a winner shot. It has everything in it...heat, texture, sharpness, focus, focal point and of course lusciousness.

Congrats Mark

congrats for winning

YAY YAY YAY......big congrats. It's a beautiful shot, well deserved win.

And now she's a winner! Congrats!

Congratulations Mark

I Love the simple-ness (if that's even a word ) of this shot!

Well done

Nice idea! Beautifully done.

Perfect because it is thought provoking. Well taken, with focus on exactly what you wanted to show us and tell us. Different, together and clasping. Your artistic bend is evident.

The combination of colours looks nice!

Dust spots on sensors can be seen in sky aspect of image. I like the angle of this shot and many focal points catch our eyes.

Great!There is even the shadow here!

G R O A N on the joke! That is what this site needs, more humour! I love this not only for the joke but for the colour of yellow and blue. You have it nicely cropped, the image is sharp "as a woman's tongue" simple , strong.

Great photo

congratulations

Lots to love about this shot. The silhouette is striking, the diagonal exciting, the colour palette warm hued. Just lovely.

I understand the lack of sharpness because your final assembly is only 473 pixels in width and it is enlarged at 200% to appear on the website. On the other hand, even in high resolution photo 2 is blurred.

The photos 1 and 3 shown in the SBS have lost their sharpness in the assembly and photo 2 is really blurred... what a pity !

I was completely drawn to the sharpness of his "white" fur on his nose....it's all about the patterns that drew me to the center of the image. Can you see you have a dust spot on your sensor? (the bane of all photographers). It is on the bottom, our L....close to the margin line. Have you tried a bit tighter crop on the L but still leaving breathing space? That diagonal line that slides right into the frame gives a rather nice visual feel of sliding into the shot. Your exposure is nice giving good detail in shadow aspect of photograph. WOOF!

I like everything about this post. The sinuousness delights the eye with curves that take us on a visual ride through the image with the detailed scales being hugged from all sides and that adds to the boa constrictor feel, furthermore all those curves exude a feeling of aliveness. Also, the fact you used a nice border implies that this snake is held "in" and we can safely study it...that border acts like a protective mechanism. I do think that the dof and focus is sharp and the hues, which I find warm and inviting, further hold us deeply in this presentation.

I like your sense of humour....you light up this site.

Congratulations, a great action shot

Congrats Mark

A natural born photographic genius....I'm jealous.

Just a perfect action shot. I wonder what was your shutter speed? Have you thought of a bit of a tighter crop to eliminate that white letter S which sucks energy out of the main focal point?

KISS principle (and I am a sucker for KISS). Simple and strong and full of great initial visual impact. Smart to include the diagonal for extra visual oooomph.

Top notch in my books. Action brilliantly caught, sharp "as a woman's tongue" , a wonderful story easily seen.

Do you remember in photography school how our profs used to tell us never to shoot anything from behind? Well, pfffffffft to that and this image proves that we ought to break rules as they are only for fools. I love the story of this photo, the anticipation, the alertness of that dog and no amount of muck in the world is going to stop him from going....any moment now...soon.

Minimum of 3 images must be used and posted in SBS.

I love pup in mud

Its so beautiful to read a short brief of him and the huge love that they have been holding inside. Good luck author

good stop action shot,would though crop a tad of the right in this,even though it would cut down the wash behind

LOL

Dog's mouth?

You can have the tequila, I'll drink the rest.

Congratulations
