A few today from our local dog park, of our 3 year old Mini-Schnauzer "Gromit".
Nikon D300, 200-400VR, ISO 200, 1.2000s, f/4 @ 400.









C & C most welcome

Cheers

I gotta say great shots, but grossly over-sharpened.

Such poise and grace from your subject. Great timing with your trigger finger too.

Pity about the sharpening.

Oversharpened, but impressive nonetheless.
You missed the focus on the 3rd shot though...

These are great!

lmfao those first 2 shots are bloody pearlers mate !
i just about spat my coffee out over the laptop when i opened this thread. still laughin...lmfaooo

great stuff.

Awesome photos!Gromit's expressions are priceless - especially in the second picture. It really looks like the wheel is about to get whats coming to it

I don't particularly mind the sharpening though - it definitely makes the subject 'pop'

Great shots.
Grommit is really popping out from the background.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I think I may have over sharpened on the second image, however the first and last (where I missed the AF on the face) are OK IMO?
With this type of BG, you need to make the image pop

I'd say the 3rd one is definitely oversharpened: the foreground grass is just too "crunchy".

Hi Dave
Surprisingly the 3rd one has had the least amount of USM.
Due to the fact that I had already missed AF on his face.

The first is great; the 'sharpening' just adds to the impact.

I tend to agree with the above. Great action shots of Gromit but at least in the second one the versharpenning makes him look like a cut out against the background.
