I captured this Labrador "Waterdog" (a distinct breed) out on Miami's South Beach as the morning sun filtered through brooding storm clouds. With his ball safely at his chest, he waited with complete attention for his master's return from a short swim.

Hey MichaelMichael S. Lazarus April 17, 2008
Thank you Dianna. This was taken in the morning with the sun up but filtering through a large storm cloud that had a waterspout form in it as I chatted with the dog's owner. I will put an image of the cloud up soon. Now that was a spectacle to see for sure but the dog was all-eyes for his owner; no doubt. #5799270Eivor Kuchta April 17, 2008
Michael, what a wonderful light in this image! It feels good to look at during this winter-like April morning in Colorado. The position of the ball adds a lot of interest to the picture, and you can really see how focused the dog is. #5799445Kimi A. Phillips April 17, 2008
