 I I tried to take a picture of my little dog, Jezebelle. She just wasn't interested, so I put my camera away. I came back later to find that she had fallen asleep with the prop. It was the best pose I could have asked for. Just goes to show you, you need to be patient with some subjects.

I shot in RAW and made adjustments to exposure on everything but the stuffed dog. I then used an Action - Midnight Sepia changing the layer blend from screen to luminosity, then adjusted the opacity, then flattened. I added text last.

Great idea.(My dog would only leave shreds of material and stuffing) It seems that there are focus issues...I.E. Should be sharper.
