I agree Connie, This is really nice. I'm very attached to labs we just lost our black lab last summer but we still have a chocolate lab. This should be entered in a sportsman context. Diana B.

Just had to log on to comment on this. Fantastic image. The pose is beautiful, with the head turn they eye is the focal point. I'm led to look over the pup's shoulder into the field and rich blue sky. Marvelous editing work.

Connie, this is fantastic. I'm curious about what type of editing you did to create this wonderful effect. Did you do something special? It's really an incredible photo and should go far. Judy

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I have to admit that this is my favorite piece. I really did not do anything special. The work was done in Picture it Publishing. I layered the photos and then using the touch up tools applied a transparency to all but Sasha allowing the field to show through. A few people have suggested that I change the blue tones on the dog but I like the look it gives the shot. Thanks again, and I hope I have answered any questions.

Well, well, well Connie, are you the best or what? I saw that you were a finalist three times over, so I thought I'd wait to make a comment after the contest was complete. I knew I would be coming back to congratulate you on a WIN! Here I am and the winner is CONNIE! Anyone of your photos of the girls is a winner and Sharlet is right...we are all very proud of you!

Fantastic work! It almost looks like a painting vs. a photo. You did an excellent job combining the two photos and I think the dog’s blue tone works well and compliments the blue sky. I love the close-up angle of this; it just pulls you right into the photo.
