 The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
-- Tom Petty

I saw this cute little dog patiently waiting in a car in the supermarket parking lot. I liked how his red collar complimented the red car and how the clouds were reflecting on the window.

As for processing, I applied LucisArt Whyeth, duplicated the image than ran the action Urban Acid, pasted the acid version into the original as a layer and turned the opacity way down, then adjusted levels. The final touch was to add the ultra-cool 'texture frame thing' goodman was kind enough to share. Rather than erasing it out I used it as a layer in multiply mode then reduced opacity.

Excellent results with all you did to make the final image here. It's not just about the image, but the subject and composition work well too.

That is really artful to see it. Great shot and you're right about the continuity of the red of the collar and car itself. The clouds really add that added OOMPH to make it more than a snapshot. GOOD ONE

Ohhhhhhhwuh!!! It always makes me kinda sad to see little dogs with that look of waiting. Like they are a little anxious that they're going to get left forever.

This is so cute. I love the processing where you can just see him hazily through the window. You did great on this!

Striking! Love the limited, bold color palette. The processing works really well.

This is fantastic. I haven't posted any blur pics myself, but I pop into these threads every now and then to check out the awesome shots you guys are producing. I don't know what it is about this one, but I just love it. I was your first view, your first comment, and your first fave!
