Animals - June/09
Re-worked Faye by using the clone tool on her fur, cropped the bottom/resized properly, desaturated the grass by -50, and used unsharp mask +70.

  I have a real soft spot for black labs given that I grew up with a house full of them. This is a wonderful portrait of Faye with fantastic lighting, sharp detail and great expression, Christine!!

  Hi Eric, my family and I are volunteer foster parents (we raise/socialize labs at about 8 weeks to one year) then have to let them go... they go to school for one year, and hopefully become Guide Dogs of Canada...

Thanks for popping in and looking at Faye.

  How beautiful .. I love all labs and had an ex-guide dog (golden lab) until he passed with old age a couple of years ago .. a most wonderful friend, it must be difficult to give them up after fostering them.. but what a wonderful service you do ~ great job!

  Faye looks adorable, Christine!! We use to have a golden lab, and I know how placid they are and what loving natures they have. You have put a lot of work into this image and it has paid off. Well done!!
