You talent with textures always amazes me. Great shot!!!Alexander Decoster August 18, 2011
I think Lyn, that this one is even better then the previous one ( the horse) because the eyes of the dog are really calling for attention , which was not really the case in the former photo ( although I still beleive it is a fantastic picture)Arthur Bohlmann August 18, 2011
Great portrait work of this beautiful dog #9612210Dale Hardin August 18, 2011
Wonderful rendition Lyn. As mentioned your selection of texturing is spot on and enhances the excellent image of this beautiful animal perfectly. #9612367Millie A. Talarico August 18, 2011

Great job Lyn! I love how the dog looks as if coming out of the canvas!Lyn Darlington August 18, 2011
Thanks Jana, Alex, Arthur, Dale, Millieanne and Chung Wah! #9613138Irene Colling August 18, 2011
Excellent photo work Lyn.Your background textures always enhance your photos so nicely. Could you explain a little about your technique to blend the layers. Do you use built in texture or do you have another program for textures?

Thanks Irene,I use CS4 and have a folder in bridge with textures which I have downloaded or taken I pick what I think might work and load them into photoshop [tools>photoshop>load files into photoshop layers] then move the textures on top of the image, resize and play with the blend modes and opacity to get the effect I like, hope this helps! #9613732Lyn Darlington August 19, 2011
Thanks Irene, I use CS4 and have a folder in bridge with different textures I pick what I think might work then load them into photoshop [tools>photoshop>load files into photoshop layers] then move the textures onto the image, resize and play with the different blend modes and opacity to get the effect. Hope this helps! #9613734Mayra Thompson August 19, 2011

Hello Lyn: You can never miss with an animal or a child when you focus on their eyes. The eyes tell the entire story of the sweetness and innocence they convey, lovely image. Merna #9616676Phyllis A. Houghton August 21, 2011
Hi Lyn, great choice of texture. Stevo's angle and eyes make this one very special. #9618456Lyn Darlington August 21, 2011
