Off and Running

Posted by Betsy Barron (Chester Springs, PA, United States) on 2 December 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Another shot from the Blessing of the Hounds on Thanksgiving Day. The fella out front caught scent of a squirrel and decided to take off. The others, of course, started to follow!

I did a lot of cloning in PS with this image. The field was littered with people and their dogs, so I had to 'remove' a few heads... and tails!

I wish I would have framed this better, but the action was happening so fast... anyone know how to use magnetic lasso and relocate a horse or a dog in stride?? ha ha :) Okay, now that really would be cheating...
