I would have tried to capture a more wider view so as to include more of the surroundings with main subject emerging prominently. You seemed to have narrowed it to avoid distractions, but impact of the show is lost. You know there are ways to reduce or enhance impact of background.   Posted: 01/06/2025 00:52:48

I appreciate your point of view. For me, the entire story is the interaction between the girl and her dog, flowing together in motion, both hair and legs! The surroundings at a small outdoor dog show like this are truly distracting because it isn't a situation where there is a crowd that is watching this one event, and the random people standing and walking in other directions didn't contribute anything to the story. So yes, the crop to focus on this one pair of competitors is entirely intentional. :)   Posted: 01/06/2025 09:19:20

Nice motion shot. Love the flying fur and hair. Maybe crop to give a bit more behind the dog? Good color, good focus.   Posted: 01/06/2025 12:10:11
