    Hi Charlene - I much prefer the comp and space around the dog in this one compared to your previous post. Here the dog has room to advance. I do think that your op is a little thin and that Haseeb's rp is a bit too contrasty for my taste. So I also did a rp. I took the image into PS and did a curves adjustment in basically a reverse S (pulling down the midtones and highlights and slightly raising the darker tones). I also burned the yellows/highlights on the forehead. You may be able to recover a bit more detail there in the raw. I did a screen adjustment to lighten the eyes. Finally, I applied another round of sharpening to the dog. WDYT?

    TFS,
    Rachel

    This is one stunning capture Carlene, and the POV really works! Nice framing too:)

    Rachel's RP brings the best out of this image and colours/sharpness above are spot-on as far as I am concerned

    Wishing you a happy week-end,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Agreed with all that have been said above. This is a better frame for sure and Rachel's RP nailed it. Loi

    Hi Charlene - I too prefer this pose/composition to the previous one.
    Rachel's repost has taken it up a notch in my eyes, processing-wise.
