About This one is dedicated to Jan Hoffman's wife, Nancy. She at least appreciates my poor underappreciated, loveseat eating puppy, Kaylee.

Kaylee watched vainly while MarnyQ shot a series of excellent flying catches made by her Corgy, Darby. Then . . . it was Kaylee's turn. While she can do it . . . she just . . . well . . . she jumped . . . uhhhhhhhh . . . but here it seems she doesn't get the idea . . . the true idea . . . of catch. Since the toy hasn't been thrown . . . and since she's not looking at it . . . seems clear she MIGHT be missing the point of catch!!! But she doesn't miss the entusiasm of trying.

That's my Baby!!

Jumpin Jack Kaylee? ;)
Nice capture Doyle.
Greetings Sascha


Jan Hoffman   {K:39467} 4/10/2007
Doyle -- Nancy will enjoy this so much and see the hidden meaning of her own husband "just not getting it".! Oh, my. Frequently when I should sit, I jump, and the other way around, too.
I love this and thanks for the shout out to Nancy.
Nancy still talks about the loveseat.
--Best to you, Jan


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/10/2007
You're right Michele!!!! She WILL! (Regardless of what Marny says!) They're so smart she KNEW jumping was the key . . . just hasn't connected the why . . . YET! Thanks so much for the support from Kaylee and me!!!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/10/2007
Thanks Sascha!! I like the title idea!!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/10/2007
Thanks Jan!! Tell Nancy Kaylee needs all the support she can get. I knew about Nancy's support after the loveseat . . . which has grown to a couch and will likely soon be a Dodge Dart . . . but it WAS a loveseat . . . and she has the heart to try . . . REALLY try . . . uhhhhh . . . to please me! How hard can it be? LoL!

THANKS NANCY!!!!!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Uhhhhh . . . for the record . . . ( http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1289266 ) - This is the trick MARNYQ admits to have taught Kaylee. LoL!

Alicia Popp   {K:87331} 4/10/2007
Bonito!!!
Cómo se los quiere!!!
Felicitaciones por la captua, un momento ideal!

Enthusiasm v. Intensity:

Enthusiasm: eye on dinner, ball in the hand (half out of shot), bicycle background, dull subdued lighting.

Intensity: eye on the ball, ball in the air, attractive and colourful background, bright well balanced lighting.

Now, which do you think I prefer?!

AJ


Shirley D. Cross   {K:151892} 4/10/2007
Hilarious and cute, Doyle! LOVE the 'Intensity' photo!:)


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/10/2007
¡Da las gracias muy mucho Alicia!!

Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/10/2007
Hi John!!

Let's see . . . you've asked a question . . .

Enthusiasm: Eye on dinner (sound familiar?), ball in hand (LoL - no comment!), half out of shot (intellectually you are pointing out to me that the hand is NOT the subject here), bicycle background (good eye to point out the reflected SPORT theme in the shot), dull subdued lighting (certainly the dull BG DID make the puppy 'pop' more)!!

WELL SEEN!!

Intensity: eye on the ball . . . ball in the air (Harrumpf . . . subtly pointing out that the location of the gaze or the ball really makes no difference what-so-ever), Attractive and colorful background (also seen in children's ball pits . . . but NOT often in gritty Pulitzer Prize winning War Journalism Photos - nice way to point out the lack of importance here), bright well balanced lighting (also found in a photo of a white square).

Which Do you prefer? LoL!

Thanks AJ!!! (Psssst. Thanks a LOT)! LoL!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/10/2007
Well Shirley, I WILL say this . . . Marny captured his "Intense" Spirit VERY well . . . !

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Jan Hoffman   {K:39467} 4/10/2007
Forgot to mention: I am marking the photos of both Darby and Kaylee as favorites.


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/10/2007
Well Thanks my politically correct friend. Have no fear, we BOTH love BOTH dogs . . . and just have a good time giving each other a hard time using them as our pawns in a chess like game of World Domination . . . well . . . Our world anyway!!! LoL!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


rebecca claassen   {K:16443} 4/10/2007
Ball in hand?!!! Seems such a waste when you have two. Hands. Well, two b...oh yeah...one hand for the camera! Silly me!
Nice puppy.
cheers, Bek :^P


Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen   {K:55797} 4/10/2007
What a jump! Kaylee is flying in the air:-) Amazing that she can do that with those tiny legs compared to her body. Such a sweet actionshot. The clarity is amazing when thinking about how difficult it is to photograph dogs on the move. Good tones as well.
Tuttelut

Kara BigCanoe   {K:1328} 4/10/2007
This is why I miss having a dog. My cats don't get enthusiastic over toys. One's in love with a walnut, the other is involved in a messy love triangle with a dog leash and a candy wrapper. They do not jump, period. :)

Very cute shot. Kaylee is adorable.


Susie  Peek-Swint   {K:7303} 4/10/2007
What a jumper she is! Great action shot Doyle ~ I love how the toy is above her head and she seems to be ignoring it ~ lol!


Shirley D. Cross   {K:151892} 4/11/2007

rebecca claassen   {K:16443} 4/11/2007
Nothing like a bit of self-promotion eh Doyle!!
Cheers, Beks :^P


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/12/2007
LMAO!!! Kara . . . that's hilarious. Walnuts and a . . . a ....Love triangle with a dog leash and a candy wrapper . . . Oh Dear! You REALLY should write children's stories!!! HAHAHAhahahaaa . . .

Oh yes, cat's are . . . . well . . . "birds of a different feather"!

Thanks for the laugh AND the comment!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/12/2007
Thanks Susie . . . her heart's in the right place . . . her mind, however . . . well, you know me . . . how can I judge, huh??? LoL!

Beks:

(confused look - scratching head - one eyebrow lifted in stunningly provocative and yet, alluring pose) . . . self-promo . . . you mean hardware store prom . . . ahhh . . . AHHHHH! . . . I get it! Sheeeesh Bek . . . 10 feet . . . yep . . . I've heard the rumours too! ;) I confess they're SLIGHTLY exaggerated . . . I was mentioning, in fact, the tree trimming tool on a pole from our hardware store!!! :P

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~


Kara BigCanoe   {K:1328} 4/12/2007
Yes well, I recently stepped on and effectively crushed Skoot's walnut. The look of abject horror on his face was priceless. He actually MOPED! I've replaced the nut but it just isn't the same. I guess you can't replace true love... unless you're Beau; he's a fickle fickle fiend.

Enjoy your day!


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/12/2007
Hmmmmm . . . apparently my wife relates to the "You can't replace the nut" comment . . . I suspect evil humor at MY expense! LoL!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

7/7


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 4/14/2007
