Instant Soaking!!

Note this: focus on master!

I went over to Chasewater today and whilst walking around the lakes I spotted a lady throwing a stick into the water for her dog to fetch. I thought, I'll get the camera out and see what sort of shot I can get. I managed to capture this one and then 5 seconds later, the dog ran up to me and shook himself dry. I was soaked. The owner was very apologetic but I told her not to worry. It was hopefully worth it for this photo.

A fantastic capture. The composition is very nice and i love the water. It was worth getting wet for. I've added a pic of my dog in the sea to the group below, but lucky for me i didn't get soaked!!
