This is a fun action shot of dogs chasing each other in the park. The full photo might tell a story about the families bringing their kids and dogs to the park to play. Maybe the people in the background are simply spectators in awe of the dogs. However, I think that the focus of this photo is better when on the dogs. The photo is titled after the dogs, so I think there should be a greater emphasis on them. The extra background doesn’t really add value to the main point of the image. <\/p>\n\n\n

I edited the photo in this way to focus on the dogs in the photo. I want this photo to tell the story from the dogs point of view. With just seeing the dogs, I imagine that the big dog is thinking “must catch up!”, while I imagine the small dogs might be regretting their decision to run into the water, thinking “why did I go in here” or “must get out”! Or they’re all having the time of their lives out there. Or maybe, the big dog accidentally got off his leash and the little dogs are running for their lives. It’s up to you to interpret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To change the story, I cropped out the unnecessary background of the people in the park. The main subject is the large dog that I positioned on the right third of the photo. I also left some space on the left for movement as that is the direction they are running. I didn’t crop it closer in on the dogs because I wanted to keep the lines showing the land around them. I didn’t want it to seem like they’re just running on water as I think that would be a little distracting. I would love if this shot could have been positioned slightly behind the dogs so that you can see more of the direction they are running and have a better perspective from their point of view, but I still think it’s a great action shot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
