Re: My latest try

The expression on that dog's face makes me wonder if he is thinking, "Good grief, I really had to go; but did I produce all this?"

Nice work. You might work on the eyes a bit. They tend to blend too much into the face and can't be seen. Just my $.02 worth. And you know what $.02 is worth these days.

Re: My latest try

Same as Janet really, but to me the blue BG is a little overpowering.
Just how many dogs have you got anyhow. I was wondering if this forum is big enough????????

Re: My latest try

Glad to see you are back up and working ( pc wise that is ) Cazzie

I agree with both Janet and Peter sometimes you have to really bring those eyes out, especially with black dogs mind you i have had trouble getting the eyes to look "clear"
again the background is bit too much for me, but there again you see more blue "over there" than what i do mainly grey here
roll on number 4 though
