Composition/Content - For me, the composition could be improved ever so slightly. I'd opt for a wider view... that is, I'd like to be able to see a little of what's to the left and right of the dogs. I like the concept and the sentiment of the image. The dogs strike me more as being the "subject" of the image than "motion".

Background - perfect for this subject. I'm happy with the sky taking up about 1/3 of the background with the land taking the other 2/3.

Camera Work Technical - Creatively and compositionally this image is substantially more than a snapshot. Technically, its not clear to me that you made any adjustments away from the point and shoot default settings. For example, blurring the background while keeping the dogs in focus might've improved the photo.

Digital Processing - Technical - I'm not sure what i'd do differently. Nothing strikes me negatively or significantly positively.

Opinion - I enjoy looking at the shot. I'm not sure about the title, though. I'm not sure from which dog is "I" . I would've assumed that "I" is the jumper, but I'm not sure since I don't see anything heading into his/her mouth.

That is a serious vertical jump on that dog. He definately had to have been in motion. The angle and framing/cropping are ok, maybe cropped just a tad close to the dog of the right. The lighting is good, and your focus and clarity seen to be just fine to me as well. Good luck in the challenge.

Good job catching the dog in the air. So far I have only been able to catch my dog sleeping on the floor. He's not the "motion" kind of critter. 7 waltoml.

THis is certainly one of the more interesting shot - I keep wondering - what are they jumping about for?

nice capture of hte moment. It would have been better if the frisbee (or whatever was being thrown) was in the shot though.
