The Joy of Chewing. 1/11 second with some (I think) appropriate motion 

blur.   B&W or color?  The light was weird, with a lot of green from the 

outside bushes mixing with the sky light through the window.

Hi Peter,

I like the gnarling on the bone simply because it does have the "action
blur!"  It's the "action of the dog" that attracted you to shoot, so why not
shoot it deliberately with some blur as you have? That is as long as viewers
can still recognize what's happening. Dog chewing on bone!

 

So often photographers see an action,  are motivated to shoot, then do so at
1/8000 to "STOP THE ACTION!" When in effect, if they used some common sense
a slight blurring is far more effective in the story telling of the scene.

 

Good on you, it worked very well to go along with those that he is sharp.
