This is awesome! (photographers can be so blind). I did not see 'dog' right away, but the teeth & lips. I thought 'waugh! that lady is reeeeeely old!' heehee Mostly I admired the beautiful light. And the processing. Well done!

She looks a little, um, doggy. Couldn't find the text of the tale when I Googled so I'll just assume she's supposed to look that way.

A bit overprocessed for me but I like the darkness for a Grimm tale.

interesting take - on first pass - i missed the entire idea behind this - but it came out pretty good - i just wish the 'dog' was more wolf like

The fur and shawl look painted, perhaps a filter used. Nice capture overall, but would like to see more of the eyes.

This could've been really cute and even a good Little Red Riding Hood (wolf posing as grandmother) but you've gone a bit mad with processing, afraid it spoils the shot for me. The light looks good, that I can make out.

Maybe it's an optical illusion, but I don't see a little old lady, I see the face of a dog wearing a shawl. Maybe it is and I just need to read the story? Googled it, and found some references to it, but not the actual story.

A little more light might help bring out some more details in this shot?
