Photographer: Gurpreet Sachdev Photo taken: Taken on June 2, 2018 at Lake Sammamish State Park Photographer’s description: “Our three-year-old golden retriever cooling off in Lake Sammamish on a hot Saturday. Photo taken with Samsung Note 8.” Critique: “The interesting lines of the water and shoreline along with a clean background really help draw the eye to the wet shaking dog. The small drops of water along with the clumped fur help us see the fun motion of the dog cooling off.” Below is a gallery of previous Reader’s Lens picks.
