Dog trials
Delivering the bird to the handler. I apologize if this offends anyone, not meant to.
This last one is of a dog pointing the live bird.
Improve depth of field? You mean greater depth of field? The object is the dog and the handler, not the foreground or the background. I don't want to distract from them with a clear foreground and background. Lacking drama and story would depend on your understanding of the sport. The second photo is a very well executed retrieve to hand. They are not all this nice! In the third is the game playing out between the dog and the bird. normally the dog does not see the bird but rather smells it. With no more than the smell the dog needs to know how close it can get without flushing the bird and should not be so far out sso the handler has a hard time finding the bird. I seldom shoot birds anymore, i prefer watching the game between the dog and the bird. Years ago I'd go bird hunting with the dog's and take only a blank gun with me. Really great, for many of us, just watching the game play out and blanking the bird. Bird lives to play another day but lose's to the dog when you flush it and blank it. Some dog's get really bent up stopping and being still to point the bird without flushing it.
The lady on the right is the handler and that is her dog. Notice the dog is not merely standing there. It has the bird located and will not move for fear of not being able to hold the bird for the handler, the story playing out.
