Hi Roz,
I have been out of commission and unable to vote or make comments on this challenge. I just wanted you to know how much I like your portrait of Toddy. It couldn’t be more perfect. It must have been exciting to watch your score over the week of voting. It would have been higher still if I was able to vote. Congratulations on a wonderful portrait and the blue ribbon.

[quote=glad2badad] I like this revisited outtake version much better than the first submission. Congrats.

Thanks Barry,
This challenge was perfect for that composition and it gave me the opportunity to try and improve the processing in a similar image. I have seen others on DPC take similar images and submit them in different challenges. I did not feel I was outside the rules.

I thought the lower portion of your composition looked so much like a dog that Toddy was the subject! Thanks for the description of how you achieved the amazing effect that you did. I could never have imagined how you did it!

Lots of potential here. It took me a little while to figure out the title and that the hiker had actually fallen down as opposed to purposely laying on the ground maybe to view wildlife.

No doubt you got a workout taking all those pictures! There should be one of you lying on the ground exhausted :)
Good effort.
