A wonderful perspective and the use of the wide-angle makes you feel like you are in the water with the dog!

The dark background and contrasting pink jacket make this a striking image. The action is perfectly sharp and that little splash of water really makes this.

The soft pastel tones really make the black dog pop out of this shot and the body lines and splashing water couldn't be any better!

This is a really great shake shot with pin-sharp focus where it is needed and the light behind feels like a spotlight adding some extra magic to this shot.

The feeling that this is a moment of contemplation and serenity really make this a successful shot. The dog looking at the wave approaching gives a great connection to the water.

This will bring a smile to anyone who sees it. The chomping at the water, the bubbles, the determined look all combined with technical perfection make this a really dynamic, fun image.

This is a dog who loves to splash around! This is a joy-filled image with a perfectly captured splash.

This is a totally different interpretation of the theme. This diagonal line works well and the crystal clear water and palm trees behind give this a really great sense of place.

Great light, great action, great colour, great splash! This is a really fun shot.

One of the calmer splash moments for this challenge! Beautifully lit, great interaction with the water and great use of negative space on the right to give the dog room to look into.
