Very good collage work. You can see that its two different photos but the difference of light is actually what makes it look so good. There is a good depth in your picture too! #97494

Thank you, Ellen, Evy, Mette Judy and Joy. I have this idea to create painted like images of my dogs. What I am looking for is a "type" of expression. Sometimes I get the expression with a good background... sometimes, not. These two photos were taken within 10 minutes of each other so the light should be pretty similar. It was overcast with bits of filtered sunlight peeking through. Thank you so much for your kind comments. Connie #97530

It's evident you put some time and thought into this composition.
The lighting is very complimentary and realistic as it is shining off Sasha's nose as it is bright in that same area of the image.
You are definately an artist, Connie.

Man, Connie this is beautiful stuff. Dare I say, it is my favorite dog image of yours. And, that is hard to pick! The laying is so fantastic and naturally done. I love both images. The expression on the dog is so regal. The background is subtle and the colors are perfect for the image. I think I have to own this image. This one belongs on the cover of a calendar. Great stuff Connie. Perfectly executed. Bravo to you my friend. #99748
