"Kick.............The Ball!!!

Walking on Canon Beach last week landed me a few comic gems that I always keep. Here's one of another photographer, out for a walk with her two little doggies. I love the frozen action and rigidity of her dogs staring at the little red ball, waiting for her to kick it.

In this image, and what I have gleaned from your description, the lady really in not part of, or does not help, the image. IF that is truly the case, I think if you cropped all the way to either right above her knees or right below them, it would really make the image better in a intellectual way.
Very crisp image though

Dunno. The lady seems to be looking at what on enlargement appears to be a lens cap in her hand. At first I thought it was a cell phone. The dogs, on the other hand, are clearly looking at the ball. As a conventional shot, I suppose it's OK as is. I guess I like the quirkiness of Mr. Quiet's suggestion.

Hey, I haven't posted in this thread yet! I cut heads and body parts off left, right and centre. Sometimes intentionally, other times not. I like using body language in the storytelling when possible.
Just out of curiosity, were you hoping for critique when posting the image or just sharing? Mr Quiet uses critique to learn and try out new ideas. He was a regular in the old whipping post, nae refinery.
+1, I did the same and IMHO it dramatically improves the picture removing the busy clutter present in the top half of the frame. In the lower half the dogs are very clearly looking at the ball and the angle of the foot and leg clearly indicate that the ball is about to be kicked. You get the same idea as the OP wanted in a much simpler cleaner way.
...for whatever that is worth.
