John, this is very nice. The dog almost looks 3D, as if it were stepping out of the image. The color and contrast ranges are excellent and I love the pose and expression. Very intense look!
John, The pose with the raised foot is wonderful. I like the treatment applied and the color tones. I think the vignette works well here.It looks like he is hunting at night. Well done.
Pleasing colour palette John. I also like the vignette, it looks like we are spying on him as he goes on his hunting expedition. Wonder if sharpening and lightening the eye might make the look even more intense.
It does have a 3D effect to this. I like the varied colors too. Not to sure about the spot light effect. The raised foot and intense look is a real plus however.
