About the Image(s)

Another perspective of the image I posted last month after Gabriele and Sunandan suggested it would be nice to show more of our puppy (which I agree). This was a little challenging because the sunlight through the front door is harsh and Tucker is in shadows. In this photo, notice he seems unsure of the flowers in the vase, but he is curious enough to also want to smell them!
Edited using Adobe Camera Raw, then PS, Nik and Topaz software.
The challenge was to lighten the puppy so he would be the center of attention and tone down the colorful flowers. Camera Raw tools plus dodging and burning were key to the outcome of this image. As always, I value all of your thoughts and suggestions!
