Excellent capture of all that motion Paul, and the title is perfect. I really like the way both the water and fur appear to be spinning. --Melanie

Even without your explanation, this photo tells a clear story about a dog drying off after retrieving the stick beside it. Very good capture!

Paul, not only do you have a great shot here, but it looks like I posted a 'similar' pic of my Aussie sheepdog in the Exhibition section.

I try and get to New Zealand as often as possible...my favorite place on earth! I’m a die-hard fly fisherman but have spend all my time on the rivers on the South Island, so I unfortunately don’t know much about the Waikato River (North Island, right?).

Best regards, Steve

Paul, this is sooo cute...you really captured the "spin drying" well. I like all the motion of the dog...and how droplets of flying water fill the whole scene. Looks like getting all wet was worth it...that's a mighty fine stick that's retrieved :) Nice capture and idea, Paul. MFC
