could this be the world's smallest dog?

Just thought the pose was funny. Looked to me like he was cocking his leg and big puddle of water coming out.

In reality he was backing away from me and couldn't get a grip on the grass because of the dew drop, leg slipped on the surface tension and he fell off. It was quite comical, but it was 6am, maybe not...

These are usually quite nervous from my experience. Good shot Troy.

Troy,

Great detail -- very impressive. Love the lighting, too.

Thanks guys. It's more of an outtake than a serious shot, though. Well, that's my excuse

Re: the lighting - I started the morning off with the MT-24EX Twin Light, but it started playing up on me and couldn't get it to fire. Changed fresh batteries and still wouldn't fire. Have to pursue that further.

So this was shot with my fallback lighting option, which I strongly recommend as a cheap solution - speedlight on camera and a Lumiquest Softbox diffuser.
