About the Image(s)
This was taken at motorcycle show held by a local dealer here in Georgetown. I did some small adjustments in LR then then replaced the background in PS a blurred background that I keep on file just for these occasions.

Richard, your picture brought a huge smile to my face. And, since my wife and I are both dog lovers, I immediately shared your image with her... and she enjoyed it as much as I did.
Your work on the background is excellent and is just what the original picture needed. Although I would have liked to see the full front wheel on the motorcycle and the rider's complete foot, those are small things that don't significantly detract from a wonderful photograph.   Posted: 03/01/2018 09:59:47

Interesting that you used a file of your BG's-- it fits very well. The position of the sidecar rounding the corner is so important to this image. I did notice in bringing in the BG you have lost a little of the dog's wispy fur around his head. I do agree with Oliver that the absence of the full front wheel on the motorcycle and the rider's complete foot is a loss but not terribly important. I see this as an image that brings a smile to one's face. Well done!

Richard; I like the glasses on the dog. You did a good job of adding the background. The blurred vegetation is very appropriate. I agree with the others, that part of the bike and man being cropped off at the bottom appear normal.   Posted: 03/07/2018 15:30:54
I like this very much, Richard. It's a good composition and it made me smile. The background it very effective but I do agree with the others about the front wheel and foot.   Posted: 03/08/2018 10:55:14

I agree with everyone, it would have been so much better had I had the feet and front wheel. I did take several shots as they were getting ready but this one the best expression and both the dog and the rider were looking in the same direction. Perhaps I have another image with the feet and wheel complete that I can paste into this one. Thank you for your comments.   Posted: 03/13/2018 21:27:02
