Default Surprise
This dog was caught by surprise by longer reaching wave in the middle of his beauty sleep. Single shot... voila!
This was shot at Calangute Beach, Goa, India.

Hello Mustlane and a warm welcome to DPS. Your timing on this amazing photogaph is so perfect. Wow you couldn't have got that any better. It is a wow shot for sure. I like the advertisement for Mcdonands in the wave at the top of the picture lol..
I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I do Mustlane and I can't wait to see more of you work. Enjoy and have fun.

Dave.

This really made me laugh, what an excellent timed capture. Just out of interest was this a spur of the moment shot or did you see the event coming and wait to capture it?

If it's the latter I'm going to laugh even more.

thanks for kind words!
Solver ... i was walking and ready to capture a picture of nice big wave. when I saw that something more interesting is about to happen, I refocused my attention and waited. I did have no time to change camera settings to continious mode - there was only one chance

This is hilarious. The dog has a look on its face like "Bwuh?" Great capture!
