I love the look on the faces, the dog included. It's obvious that
something "unseen" is occupying their attention. Is that a splash
of water or some vegetation in the foreground? I suppose it could
be considered an 'artsy' effect but to me, it's more distracting
than artsy. I think that the man who is kneeling and the dog would
make an excellent close-up. The concentration on their faces is
superb.

The distraction is a splash of water from a duck (the unseen) that just
landed about 40 yards from the dog and 20 from me.

This was a shot from a UKC HRC hunt test where I played event
photographer. More at

if you are so inclined.

In addition to the unseen element of the duck, I was "unseen" in
full camo, buried in the brush and reeds at the edge of the bank.

Thanks for commenting.

Sensor cleaning:
Can of compressed air, make sure you use short blasts, have the camera
body pointed down, and always fire the first blast away from the camera
to clear any fluid. The fluid can crack the sensor if it hits it.
If you can see the dust you can try to wipe it away with a dry cotton
Q-tip. Fluff up the end with your clean fingers and make sure that all
the stray fibers are wrapped up or cut off. Do not touch the flocking
or foam portions of the camera it will pull off the cotton fibers.
If that doesn't work you can use a Q-tip that has been slightly
wetted with an alcohol, 100% alcohol, not the stuff cut with water.
The goal is to pick up the dirt with one and dry it with a clean Q-tip,
don't just smear it around.

You are not actually cleaning the sensor, just a piece of glass on the
sensor.
