I looked at your pic for quite a while. As a long time duck hunter it brings back many memories. Your shot does capture the alertness a dog still has at the end of the day. Good work.

Thanks Lee, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It also brings back fond memories for me.

G'day.
Very good capture mate....I too just stared at it, almost expecting the dog to move.
Duck eh? a bit of Grand Mariner & orange sauce perhaps?

damn, now I'm hungry!!

Very nice how the dog's body position mirrors the slant of the grasses...

Thanks Jim, had I brought the rest of my gear that day, neither of us use would have had this shot. I'm pretty sure you were over on the dike shooting that wild cloud formation with sun bouncing in and out over the golden reeds. Seeing that dog that day did bring back some great memories though, it was almost like seeing a ghost.

That is a truly great shot that captures the essence of the hunting dog. Really enjoyed it John.
