Oh….I love this. Nice image. Not sure I would change anything. You have balanced the snow nicely with his darker fur. Let's see what everyone else says. What is she looking at? #1566706Jeff E Jensen March 13, 2014
Yup, looks great! #10999692Dale Hardin March 13, 2014
Very majestic pose and nice comp, Beth.Not sure if it's BP or not, but would open the shadows on him a tad. I notice they sometimes post a bit dark on BP. #10999727

Nice Beth love the comp. I am with Dale and would open the shadows - otherwise good to go. #11000223Peter W. Marks March 14, 2014
Yes we all like this Beth but as with Dale and Mike we older gentlemen still are using our Commodore 64 computers and her coat is somewhat dark on our screns.. #11000260Elaine Hessler March 14, 2014
Love the snow on the belly! I'd like to see the shadows opened up just a tad and maybe some structure or sharpening on just the doggie.Lucky cutie pie! #11000289

Sorry it has taken a while to get back to this, we were having internet problems, yet again! Anyway, I used a mask to just select her and then opened the shadows, lightened her a bit, added some contrast and then applied a sharpen filter to just her. The picture looks different on this site than when I put it on Facebook, for some reason it was darker and had less contrast.Dale Hardin March 16, 2014
Nice edit, Beth. Not overdone and very effective. #11001996Beth Spencer March 16, 2014
Thanks! #11002002Kalena Randall March 17, 2014
Beth, great shot on a beautiful pup! I like the one with the edits the best. It lets me see the texture and color of his coat. #11002427Anthony L. Mancuso March 18, 2014
Excellent pooch portrait Beth...I think the shadow adjustment was all that was needed. Well done! #11003192Beth Spencer March 18, 2014
