I like this one a lot - I think the shapes and lines are strong enough that you ould keep on processing it til it was just an abstract and it would look good.

Looks like a water painting, and i really love how the dog is bathed in sunlight.

Beautiful glistening water and a wonderful softness to the dog's coat.

Like the painted effect with the Topaz Marion. It gives the water a lovely crystal effect. Good job masking out Tisa.

This is one of those photos that breaks some rules and does it well. If you were to enter this into a challenge here people would be all over your blown highlights on the water. I would then have to disagree!

I think those blown highlights are actually what makes the shot for me. I don't know what time of day you took this photo, but it tells me that you took it way earlier than I would have been able to drag my ass out of bed (which isn't hard since I work Swing shift). The bright light kisses the crystal clear water and bounces to warm and illuminate your pup.

Certainly like a painting. Beautifully edited and not at all overdone.

Oh this is really beautiful. I like the way the overlay makes it feel like it has ice crystals. Happy New Year.
