This was my first attempt in heavy PP use. I was aggressive on purpose, and felt the result looked interesting.

Thanks for your comments.

i think there is a little to much prossesing. the dog looks "stamped" onto the background.

He chewed a lot according to his/her worn big tooth. Very nice capture of the German Shepherd.

Are you shure that you did not come in my yard and took a picture of my dogs. I have two GSD that live for the ball. Check out one of my early entries to the "Garbadge" contest. Good shoot as well with great colors and DOF. Good luck -8- PS: my spelling is bad - sorry

Great animal, but it looks artificial. Was this one pasted on a new background, or did you just over do the dodge and burn? The bottom of his chin makes it obvious, and the lighting doesn't seem to match.

The black on the dogs muzzle/jaw area looks washed out, like this was underexposed and brought up in PP to lighten it some? Not sure why, but the dog looks very isolated/disconnected from the background, especially near the lower jaw and grass.

maybe just an illusion but it looks badly photoshopped around the edges of the dog. hth

Cute shot! I might have been tempted to try and clone out the leaves but his head as they are a bit distracting, but I nice shot with a cool title. Good luck
