Taking pause...

Murphy belongs to good friends of mine, and was happy to pause to pose his paws (without pay) for a pic. Thank, Murph!

I had to use a flash on this photo, resulting in uneven exposure. I used some of the techniques from the Sept/Oct Issue of the Elements Techniques to dodge and burn my way to a more evenly exposed image. I really like what it did for his eyes. Thanks to Matt Koslowski for a great article!

  3. A pat and a kind word sometimes works on two legged folks as well.
