So, I went to the shelter and found a wonderful Lab mix called Cinderella! She was a wonderful subject even though she was in a crowded cage. She was admitted into the shelter on 4/19/2011 and has had her picture taken before. I have seen this picture and think it suites the animal very well. She is outside with a nice scarf on looking as free as a domestic dog can be. I do like the image I got but I do not believe it showed how amazing this dog actually is and I do not feel like this photo should be removed from the website.

This image does not have the wow factor that Cinderella brings to the table! She is a very energetic animal and is very much a vibrant girl! Her eyes seem far away and seem to not have the life that is there. The background is distracting and takes away from the photo; cropping would be a perfect way to fix that particular issue. For the eyes, adding a dodge layer would bring out the life behind her eyes.

This is a much better photo in my eyes. The levels are fixed so that the dog no longer looks like she is a zombie dog! Her teeth look whiter and her black fur is no long dull but shinny! How could anyone say no to this beautiful dog!
Great image! Have you tried cropping in around her face a bit more? Getting a little tighter in may bring out her eyes even more.
ReplyDeleteReally good job with the editing! The smile pops out with your corrections. It would be a really nice addition to the post to show the other picture you described as well (the one with the scarf). Make sure you cite that photo though.
