firetrail where i live ...
this is my other dog, sasha ... she's 14 years old and she was patiently waiting while i was TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS !! ..:) .. her ears are watching me ....
I really like the desat here, too; did you do this "by hand"? I'm still learning selective desat, and I find it takes me forever, and I probably wouldn't have done the leaves for just that reason (though, IMHO, it makes the image really stand out). I'm actually glad you kept the full height of the image; to my eyes, there's a different feel in each vertical third of the photo which is very pleasing to me.
Interesting how well you brought out your dog's body from the original. The small splashes of color and the DOF make me see it as the dog and the green leaves against a B&W backdrop. Not sure if that's what you intended ...
Interesting shot. I like what you've done with it. I would prefer a tighter crop, maybe just the bottom half. I find the darkening you've done to the top to be a little distracting.
Oh, and nice dog. :-)
Oh Roz!!!!!!!!!!!! What a COOL photo! Your dog looks like she is just basking in the glory of that awesome place, totally unaware that you are anywhere around taking her photo! It looks beautifully de-saturated -- that perfect kind of desaturation where you can't really tell if it was done in photoshop or naure. Beautiful job!
