 What better way to start the new year than with a photo of my best friend!! 'Bailey'

Basic editing, desaturation, then selective resaturation on her eyes, I loved the vision in the catchlight in her eyes, and the lighting on her fur which showed up so much better in b/w.

Don't think selective desaturation works here, makes it too cheesy. Otherwise it's a very good shot of a pretty smart looking dog. The only thing i would add is a little more space on the right and on top.

This is both amusing and startling. I'm not 100% sure I like the hyper-blue eyes, but even wiothout them it would be an appealing image so I give it a good score. Personally I'd score it higher without the blure, but I am sure many will disagree.

I really like this dog. You picture makes me want to take him for a walk myself. What doesn't work for me is keeping his eyes in color. To me this is a distraction that really does not add to the image or show me anything more about his personality. I'm still rating this a 6 because of the quality of the portrait and the dog's expression. Did you try one that was totally black and white?

Nice closup, like the desat, eyes are nice and sharp. How can you you resist when he brings the leash. HNY and good luck.

Selective desat done tastefully...I think it highlights the eternal hope in her eyes. Tonal range is very pleasing in this photo. Good composition overall. 8

the manipulation killed this image in my opinion.

The selective desat works well for me. Beautiful creature, your dog. Such an animated face. Sweet shot. 10
