About the Image(s)
This was captured on a Canon 60D DSLR, using a Canon EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS STM lens.
Shutter priority was used, with applicable exif data being ISO 250, f/4.625, 1/400 sec, 152mm focal length
For a title, I call this one “The Granddog” as this is my daughter and son-in-law’s Boykin Spaniel. Aside from the obvious cropping, plenty of black, white, highlight, and shadow adjustments were made, the background was selectively further blurred (though it did catch some of his whips fur and blur it as well), then exposure and contrast adjustments, selective sharpening of the muzzle, etc.
Aside from possibly less blurring of the background and/or using PS instead of LR for inverted subject selection to see if the fringy hairs are better selected, how might others finish this one?

Here's Matt K's short video showing how it works. https://mattk.com/one-click-to-better-photoshop-selections/
My suggestion would be to put in a completely different blurred background...sky replacement, trees, anything. I think that would show your grandpup off better than the road cutting him into sections and distracting us from that adorable tongue!   Posted: 09/12/2023 12:55:27
