We resolve to exhibit more self control this year

Phew, I thought for sure that your title was going to be "We resolve to stop licking where we shouldn't."

Creative idea, and well presented. There's some issues that resulted from cloning something out of the background, but I didn't immediately notice them. The more noticeable ones are behind the pup, but there's also some residuals left to the right of your neck. Chairrail molding perhaps? Though, there's a little something extra on the pup's side.

Ahh, yes. Nothing like the morning sun to warm your dangly bits.

Are they waiting for the ice to melt, so they can safely return to their homes? This image, to me, conveys their dissatisfaction with their predicament very well.

I think what really makes this are the colors at the top of the image. It's like a winter rainbow.

The top half is awesome! I get a little bored toward the bottom though. I think those green lights might be pulling me out of the scene. I wish you could unplug those green lights without the threat of arrest...

I do hope you post your processing steps for this.

A lovely woman in a classic feeling portrait. Overall it's quite pleasant and the lighting is complimentary.

I have some criticism however. It appears you took the time to not put the aged crackle effect on her face for the most part (or it's just not appearing as strong there), but you left it on her chest. At first I thought it was hair that had been cloned out. As much as it pains me to say it, it looks like she has chest hair that's popping out of her beautiful dress.

What really gets me are the marks on the collar where it has been let out as the pup on the right grew. I doubt these are the same breed, but you captured what seems to be a moment between an adult dog and a younger dog. The adult dog even seems to have some grey fur on his snout. I wonder what wisdom the older dog was passing to the pup.
