Young Yellow Lab in Retrieval Training

[StarryNite]

I don't know this dog or his humans. I saw them at the river this morning and enjoyed watching him learn from being very tentative about going in the water to adapting quickly and obviously enjoying retrieving the training duck. I was quite a distance away and was pretty happy with the picture I was able to take with my cheap, old Canon.

3. Labs are great dogs!

Actually all dogs are great they just excel in different things and mostly in being our best friends and family members.

2. Wow, my dear StarryNite! Maybe you think your Canon is cheap and old...

But it still delivers the goods.

It's a lovely photo and it tells a story.

Thank you!

4. It's just an old point and shoot.

Which is perfect for my level of photography.

7. Lots to like here StarryNite!

You have a great eye! Your composition includes the plant in the lower right corner, the Yellow Lab mid-frame with water dribbling from the end of his curved tail, his wet fur, and cool pool* reflection and the duck in-jaws. The just-out-of-focus plant adds perspective to the scene, the rest of which is in great focus.

Very nice!

*Albeit a river, pool does rhyme with cool . . .
