Title: Dog
Post by: larkis on December 10, 2012, 02:18:03 am

I took these today while walking my dog (he likes to stare at birds), but I'm kind of at a loss which one or two are presentable. It's hard to be objective when it's my own dog. Comments welcome.

Did you desaturate the background? Nice effect.

The background was gray trees and the sky was also pretty much gray and rain clouds were starting to approach. I toned the highlights a little bit warmer, that's pretty much it.

Nice effect.

I like it too.

Good job and certainly a lot better than "presentable"!

I agree. These three really convey the intensity of the dog's gaze. Fine work.
