Golden Retriever in Tall Grass

This golden retriever was photographed during a recent upland bird hunt.  The photograph was not planned in advance but we were ready when the dog paused momentarily during the hunt.
Most of our images taken that day suffered from the high, mid-afternoon sun which gave us harsh light.  This image is an exception as the dog was standing in an area partially shaded by trees.  The dog is slightly backlit and there is a rim of light along her back that separates her from the out-of-focus, green background.  No harsh shadows anywhere.  Also, the dog was standing on a slight rise above us and this allowed for the low camera angle.  We got three quick shots before the dog took off hunting again.  This one had the most pleasant head angle of the three photographs.  The right place at the right time!
