A wonderful portrait and i am bumping it up on good detail, however, personally I would have avoided the desat. |

Interesting idea, and well done. I don't think it will work to your favour in this challenge, as it detracts focus from your dog. This is my second time looking at thisshot, and the first where I actually even looking at him/her. Yet focus and details are sharp. |

My feeling is that the use of selective desaturation here makes this more a photo of the toy than the dog. The dog seems to fade into the background a bit. I'd be interested to see what it looked like in colour. |

I don't think this image is improved with selective desat. It makes the toy the focus of the image rather than the dog. Other than that, excellent POV and DOF. |

This could have been an EXCELLENT shot, but I found the coloured toy very distracting |

What a beautiful dog! I love German Shepards. I wouldn't have done the selective desat here, but I sitll love it. 8! |

Stunning animal - good job, not sure about the desaturation though. |

The selective desaturation here works against the picture IMO. It draws attention away from the dog. |

The selective color of the dog toy totally focuses your attention there and away from the main subject... |

the toy is too much of a ditraction might have been better if it were toned down or b/w, you really lose the dog |

Your choice of black and white was wise -- it helps lessen the distraction of the background. The dog is beautiful, there's light in his eyes, and he's nicely in focus. I can't figure out why you used selective desaturation here. It draws attention to the dog's toy rather than the main subject, the beautiful dog. I'm tired tonight, so hope this isn't coming across harshly -- I hope it is helpful feedback. :) |

I'm not a fan of the selective desat on this... it really takes away from the beautiful dog!! |

IMO for this contest it would have been better to make everything except the dog b/w rather than the toy. |

This is just a personal preference, but I thikn it would have looked better without the colorization. It's an excellent shot of the dog! |

Nice post processing although leaving the eyes in original color could have been nice...a little too much dodge over nose as well, magnificent animal..... |

I think this would have been so much more a classic portrait without the colored dog toy. This desat takes the emphasis off the dog and makes the plastic dog toy the subject of the photo. |

a little too harsh of contrast between the toy and the b/w |
