I think I know what you were going for, but it just doesn't work (in my humble opinion). The added effects of graininess to apparently preserve anonymity are too contrived. Don't get me wrong, I like the finger gesture and the fact that the model covered his/her face, but it lost its appeal due to the added effects. Sorry (4).

I see the middle finger creeping on its way up there, LOL. I'm afraid there may be a lot of complaints abou the grainy texture.

I'm sorry, but these effects spoil the image IMHO. It could have been nice without them, but this is not for my taste.

At first, I didn't like the extreme grain. But the more I look at it, the more I like the simplicity.

Certified Assistance Dog "Karma"

Comment by Bear_Music:
Fessel, she's not actively climbing, she froze in place and "pointed" the birds basically. Very static pose.

Buddy, she's a rescued shelter animal, an abandoned dog. We assume sone German Shepherd in the mix because of the ears, but she's smallish at 55 lbs. She has an incredible herding instinct; in our local free run area she herds all the other dogs, it's funny to watch. So in that respect she behaves like a cattle dog yes...
