Not much to say that hasnt been said or acknowledged. Looks like you have a couple of good dogs.

Another good action capture. You may want to try this again when you can try motion panning to blur the background.

Sorry, I posted this in a forum, but not here, which was a bit silly!! LOL We took these in the late dusk time on Sunday night, just thought of it then, do NOT ask me why!! Anyway, took about fifty shots and used the best two we had, one for me and one for jorr!! Knew going in we should have reshot them, but kinda late by then and I needed an entry, so for these entries, we DO understand what we did incorrectly!

Great capture, and in mid-air as well. Nice timing!

What lets it down for me is the on-camera flash, which creates the very harsh shadows in the background (around the dog, and behind the stick he's jumping) - Try shooting late afternoon with no flash, the lighting will be in your favour.

I love this photo Jacque! I'm sorry it only got a 4.5. I'm thinking like Obsidian. It's a great photo, but maybe the background hurt you a little. I just love the dog tho! Great capture!!

A strong composition with very sharp relief of the subject. Good detail on the dog but overall the background seems to get in the way of the picture itself. Maybe a flash diffuser would have helped here and blurring some of the background to make the dog realy stand out?

a nice snap, but the harsh flash light brings it down. if you had darkened the backround, to get rid of the harsh shadows and increased emphasis on the dog and pole, it would really improve the shot. also, a bit of burning on the right side of the pose would help.

The harsh flash makes this look like it was shot at night... was it?

not sure how you got the shadows around the underside of dog yet no shadows from grass or fence. Great sharp pic just looks a little pasted in although I tend to believe it wasn't.
