    Hi Ken,
    I like the focused, alert, head-up pose and the BG. Good sharpness as well. Looks a little bright and in need of a slight boost in contrast on my monitor.

    Nice pose with the ears up. Looks a bit soft on my monitor. Also I feel that brining down the brightness a bit & boosting the contrast could add a punch to the image.

    I just tried some PS editing on the image. Here's the result:



    Cropped, reduced brightness, increased contrast, saturation & added a round of smart sharpen (Amount=90, Radius=0.3)

    No problem with changing my images, that is what I joined this site for!
    The repost is different, but is to my mind too dark and saturated, the dog itself would very rarely be these richer colours.
    I think you are right about the sharpening, I forgot as I nearly always do to sharpen after conversion to JPEG.

    Ken, u r right about the saturation. I guess in wild the wild dog would not be so rich in colour. Just got carried away a bit. Coming to the darker part, is by any remote chance, the brightness of ur monitor set low...?
