An experiment!

Weather has been absolutely horrid. The winter has well and truly arrived. It has been very cold and wet all day

[Emilie Cartoun]

Such a beautiful face with an explosion of furry mane all around it.

[seasnappi]

she is a beauty!

[Dave Taylor]

Very well edited. Lovely dog too.

Sorry about the weather, but this is a definite feel good shot!

Super result

[Nina Ganci]

I am sitting in front of the fireplace, and think I will sleep here.
Gorgeous portrait of Kaela.

[Gillian]

I'm not sure what you were experimenting. But whatever it is, this is gorgeous of Kaela!

[Leana Niemand]

Such a beauty!

[Sue Wilde]

This is a gorgeus result

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Your experiment was a success!! I love it! Second pet shot that became a fav this week!

[Chris Stapleton]

Good work

[Veena Gupta]

A Fav. Great experiment. What did you do? The effect is lovely.

[Sally Ings]

@veengupta Veena unfortunately I cannot remember all the steps. I started out processing the RAW image, then fiddled in Color FX, then fiddled again in Silver FX. I liked the overall look but I'm not sure I could repeat it! Thanks for the fav and your continued support.

[Dione Giorgio]

Awesome shot. Great processing and clarity.

[Sally Ings]

@kwiksilver Gillian, I'm playing with the Nik collection (a PS / PSE plugin). I should learn to write down what I do!

[Therese]

FAV! Love this shot, awesome editing! Oh dear... we normally get Cape Town's weather... so I guess the cold front will hit us soon too!

[Lyn Berriman]

You really love your dog! And I don't blame you one bit - she is a magnificent creature!

[Sally Ings]

@lynnilou I do feel sorry for the other two as I haven't got nearly as many pics of them! Kaela is just so photogenic and she poses so well. Pixie always looks away when the camera comes out and Skye is just so busy she never stops moving!

[Penny Price]

Excellent portrait.

[Al Bailey]

This is gorgeous!!!! :)

[Taffy]

Successful experiment, I'd say. Beautiful portrait!

[Eric di Bosco]

Fantastic processing...really looks like a professional pencil sketch. Well done!

[Annie D]

[Cheri]

Lovely portrait

[Maggie]

A lovely portrait.
