 Yes, I know... I overdo the processing/editing bit. I can't help it! Actually the shot looked good without much at all, but given the surroundings I thought it might look good a little grungier.

This is Papaya. And although she may not look like it here, she's VERY sweet and smart - she's a trained & working dog for the blind. We were just out posing behind the Buchanan Theatre while I was dog sitting for her. :-)

Awesome dog shot Jimmy. The eye color really stands out against the neutral colors of the setting. I actually like the processing that you used on this shot. The sharpness is perfect!

I hope all is well back in Virginia!

A very compelling pet portrait, the post processing is great. The eye color turned out great and the sharpness combined with the DOF is perfect.

Wait! the last time I saw Papaya she was looking very sweet and patient as she was assisting her person in Church. You dog sit her for one afternoon and look what happens! Know grunge is the thing but I think it looks a tad overprocessed; but then I know this pup! SEEYA, Greeley, the other dog in the pews.

OMG perfect. The lighting, the pose, the dof.

Wanted to add..... I don't mind the editing you did at all, it looks really nice, my only beef is the pixelation distortion under the dogs eye. Are you editing your photos before resizing them? That seems to be the trick. If you edit after you resize, you are losing so many pixels and then when you dodge or burn you get these little squares everywhere. Joey pointed it out to me I think.
