This is a very heavy crop so not a great photo but I liked the pose so made it into my own piece of art - your critique welcomed as always.
I like the pp and toning.
Quite an amazing bit of action you captured, but difficult to reconcile that they are just playing.

Couple of wiry looking critters processed perfectly. Well done magnetoman.
They really are playing Linda - they eat, live, sleep and play together, and if they get separated they are looking for each other. Play fighting is perfectly natural in dogs - a second or two after this shot they were chasing each other up and down the beach, which is without doubt their favourite pastime. Many thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments.

I really really like this, and you have made it into art. It is a wonderful "moment" caught just right, and the processing takes it past the snapshot it started as. Excellent work!
Oh those teeth!

It's not the size of the dog in the fight... gary
Thanks for commenting min. I take literally dozens of shots of these two dashing about and the open beach is probably the easiest place to get something decent. In this case I hadn't intended taking them and had the wrong lens for the job but they were enjoying themselves so much I couldn't resist - they were really too far off for the best results. Still, it created something I like and has set me on looking at a little series of them. They may look serious but they both have very gentle natures!

I have two similar to these my friend and the play/fight every day. Beautiful capture and great treatment.
Nothing like a good mongrel is there Billy? They cost you little in vet fees and give maximum pleasure in owning. I wouldn't have anything else.Thanks for looking.

Wow, that larger dog has quite a large clamping ability based on the opening of it's mouth. I'm not sure I ever saw a dog open it's mouth that far - amazing! Nice job on the capture. I'm just glad my hand or arm is not in it's clutches - that would certainly be painful - ouch!

Nice shot and turning it into art works well. I love how you processed the image.
I love this! Your work on it to change it to memorable art is spot-on! 100 years from now, no one will know if its play fighting or for real but it would still stand up as a fantastic image of The Challenge !
Neither would bite you but the big one does like to hold your hand very gently - that has made one or two people jump, but she certainly wouldn't hurt you! Thanks for looking Tom.

Thanks Walt, I find myself more attracted to the pp possibilities nowadays so I might be posting more in due course.
