I really like the post processing here, the colours are just fantastic as are the textures.

The Composite itself I believe you did a fantastic job of combining the two images, yet, the perspective seems a bit off in my opinion. It looks good, but something about the positioning of the snout just looks off a touch. Maybe Im wrong, but it takes away from the overall feel of the image.

As I continue to look at the image, I am starting to believe that white highlight on the snout is throwing off the lighting continuity for the image and that is what was bothering me so much. To me the main light source seems to be coming from behind your right shoulder (left side of image) and the extremely bright highlight on the snout is out of place. There is no other highlight in the image that matches that intensity.

I really enjoy the personification you created with mans best friend and yourself. I really enjoy the overall processing and feel of this image. I don't really think there is anything bad I can say about it. You did a really great job here.

So I will get a little nit picky, by the right ear it is a touch blown out, I think cloning a bit of hair there would really even out the head area. easy fix, and maybe making the soul patch a bit bigger, so it stands out just a touch better. But like I said, thats being nit picky L()L... Great job.

So surreal, and so dam good, my friend.....
I love it, and at first, I thought it was a flower, and you had added your eyes to each petal, re the thumbnail.
Excellent composition, and an excellent idea that works.....

Great idea and well composed for the challenge. The DOF is just to shallow and the focus on the leaf seems out of place.
