Spitting image

The original is a prairie dog with an attitude. He was fracted, pixel bent, and flipped. Then made into more of a circle with PS spherize. With PS transform tool I shrunk the p. dog and placed him in the center of the original p. dog. I erased the bkgd from the shrunken image. Then a finishing touch with Topaz Detail zoom.

Hi Nancy ,This photograph reminded me of some feelings I had just after my Grandson (2) Bit a child (Girl) on the playground . Both Mother and Child looked at me with that same expression ! lol BTW, Awesome work on this one !

I like the colors and the fact that it isn't symmetrical left-to-right. The almost circular prairie dogs in the midst of the strong stripes works well. There is something riveting about those eyes. I keep looking at it.

This image has a lot of appeal, both the composition and the fract work. Nicely processed and very creative!

Thanks, Clyde, Dennis and Judy. Clyde, I can just see that mother/daughter scowling at you!

This image makes me smile with pleasure. The beautiful bg. The clever composition. The big and little Prairie dog. Creative!

Wonderful, Nancy. looks like they have something to say :S3:

Nancy, this has Dave written all over it! It's just perfect for the theme:S3:

Thanks, Anita, Maureen and Cheryl. I think Prairie Dogs are fun and I have tons of images. There are several Prairie Dog towns on the outskirts of Fort Collins, the closest town near me and in spring and summer I drive down early in the mornings to photograph. I do get a lot of funny looks from joggers.

Nice idea, I think I've seen my mother-in-law give me that look, very well done

Nancy, I absolutely love this one! Very creative, in both concept and execution, and a wonderful tribute image. I especially love how the fract work brought out one characteristic of the prairie dog and the spherize filter another; they are round little balls of pointy fur. Sweet!

Very creative... love the effect!
