UNDERWATER DIVING DOGS
WITH A STERN look of determination on their faces, these adorable pooches perfect their doggy paddle as they dive head first into a swimming pool. The dogs bare their teeth and have their eyes on the prize as they dive underwater to retrieve their beloved toys. By shooting from the bottom of a swimming pool, underwater portrait and dog photographer Jonny Simpson-Lee was able to capture a series of unique canine expressions. The 42-year-old, of Pulborough, West Sussex, says: "Freezing the moment a dog breaks through the surface of the water in pursuit of a toy or treat often captures it's primeval hunting instinct and is exaggerated by the way it's body takes on fascinating forms within the water.”
