    great shot. I like the onlooking boxer jealous that he is not part of the action.

    Closer... OR a square crop to eliminate the two guys on the left so that the three dogs and the one person become the photo.

    The brightness of the guy on the left squatting down distracts attention, away from the dogs,and the girl looking in his direction,doesn't help.

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. My own feeling is that this was close but not quite. As rainbow and lensmole implied, the best visuals are the dogs and the seated woman. The other two guys don't add anything. But I also think that Don's point about the dogs' world vs. the human world has some value. I had no time to work the scene--the larger dog won the battle quickly--so it was just a grab. I tried cropping but there was no way of getting just the woman and the dogs cleanly without PS skullduggery, and while I'm not ideologically opposed to that, it just didn't seem worth the effort.

    Took me awhile to work something out for this one :D Several potential possibles to fix on.
    Whats clever in the catch for me about this scene is there appears 2 tug of wars. "Meditating" woman appears to care less about the conversational one in front of her but the boxer may be thinking of grabbing a piece of the action he is viewing between the 2 dogs physically having one. Your title really lends itself well, for me, if not perfectly to this image Richard. Nice grab thumb.gif
