I know flickr over sharpens, but never heard the term over cooked. Means too hot?

Sorry, I meant that it seemed a bit over-processed (and also over-sharpened).

The teeth looks too super bright/white, the eyes appear brightened just a hair too much.

But I am looking through a non-calibrated monitor so it's probably just me.

I think with Flickr oversharpening it it really messes with the image. I wish they would fix that. In print it did look all good.

This forum is wonderful. I am learning to shoot dogs in motion and it is difficult. Your answer is helpful in many ways, not least in the aspect of getting me to understand that this is a difficult task; learn by errors.

Dogs in motion are VERY DIFFICULT to nail. What camera are you using?

I use Canon 5D mk IV paired with the 70-200 L II with IS. I might have used a too slow shutter speed.

Beautiful images!

Biggest piece of advice? get your shutter speed up there as much as you can. ive found with Luna here (a Cardigan Welsh Corgi) i need over 1/1000 to avoid motion blur sometimes. Yes. Seriously.

Stick to smaller toys, larger ones will be grabbed by the AF system accidentally (Her orange spiked ball works ok, i have some smaller ones but they get lost in the snow too easily)

It takes allot of practice. You need fast AF, and I use only some of Canon's best glass :f/2.8 70 -200 II , 300mm f/2.8 IS, 100-400 II. All work well. I have lots of examples in my gallery. For camera bodies I use the Canon 1DXII and the 1D4. Quick fast reliable AF is an absolute necessity if you hope to capture the best shots of dogs in action.

I took my first trip to Sprewell Bluff in Thomaston GA this morning. I was looking to do long exposures of the water but the top was mostly ice.
