They're brilliant especially the first!

Nice shots... you ask for critique so I'll offer one. All of these lack a feeling of direction. You need space in *front* of the dog, and in many cases you have your space behind the dog. Think of the rule of thirds. On the tall obstacles, unless your a-frame and walk are shorter than those in my part of the world, you've shrunk them to something you can almost look down at. If anything, they should be presented as taller than they actually are.

Thanks for the comments.

tracknut.... Do you feel I should have shown more of the a-frame and dog walk? I appreciate the critique and your suggestions.

First two and the last one are really good. For me the backgrounds on the others are too distracting ( I appreciate you most likely did not have any choice about this)

I think you've got about the right amount of obstacle in those shots, you just need to get down lower. Actually lower on all your shots, I'd say.

Ditto on Dave's advice. I'd crop 2, 3, and 4 tighter yet, which would also help with the backgrounds. Nice series - great colour and clarity and you captured the action on the various obstacles really well.
