I took this first image during dog agility training class. This is Mabel. She never quite made the jump over this obstacle. Careful placing of a sausage in front of the obstacle piqued her interest to tempt her across. The angle I shot at makes it look much more like a jump than a scramble for the sausage. It worked well for her social media but I don't think it helped with her competition prospects. The image is definitely misleading in relation to Mabel's jumping ability. I could easily have taken the image from a different angle to show her struggle and failure to jump. 

This second image is of a wild red squirrel jumping. Whilst the squirrel was definitely wild, the set up for the photograph was completely artificial. The set up was carefully crafted to enable squirrels to reach hazelnut treats but to do so they needed to jump between two platforms. I was able to set up camera and tripod focused carefully in the specific area that the squirrel would traverse between jumps.  The image could be interpreted as a carefully planned and executed shot completely in the wild. In order to tell the full story I could have taken a shot that included the jump set up rather than just the squirrel in flight. Even though only very little post processing is acceptable in wildlife photography, this example shows how easy it is to manipulate the viewer when composing and making the image in camera. Being more experienced now (the image was made in 2021) I find these sort of images too staged and wouldn't choose to do this again.
