I'm ready!

Our female field lab River ... took her swimming today, which she loves.
She is a very intense girl, but we love her.
I know the rules say to get down lower, but I was holding my phone (too much splashing for the camera) and a stick for her.

Sharon - nice shot, but it is super flat (low contrast). Add a bit of global and mid-tone contrast and a few more tweaks to strengthen this lovely shot.

Thank you Manfred, for taking the time to look edit and suggest. I processed it a little flat yes. Not best lighting either. And of course a phone is never going to give as high quality as a raw file will.
She’s a great dog, and thanks again.

Hi Sharon, this is a shot in the dark, but have you checked whether your phone has RAW capability? I was very pleasantly surprised to find that my Huawei nova 2i has! Now, that reminds me, it is months since I have used it. Must make myself another note
