I was processing images for my newest rescue client and this one just struck me as one to play with.
What do you think?
The image was made against a blue Chroma-Key background in natural light.
I used a B&W conversion layer with a high-contrast red filter preset but masked out the eyes. Then an oval selection which was feathered to something crazy like 250 pixels, inverted and darkened in levels.
I should have done an 800 pixel version but I've got 500 on the brain for their website . . .
She won't last long !!! What an expression Do like conversion and leaving the eyes with color. As it is they are the most prominent feature then with the color they just pop even more !!! Your good Jim !!!
Jim, Your work brings tears to my eyes. I'm sure it goes along way toward getting these wonderful dogs permanent homes. (I came real close the other day to my third rescue dog....thankfully, common sense kicked in.) Your creative efforts in this image I think are really fine!
