Thanks for your comments, Britt and Brent. I've uploaded a version in which I blurred the background a bit in exhib: http://www.pbase.com/update_image/57093920 Please let me know what you think... /Oved

This guy really has an interesting "humanlike" quality to his face.

Armin, your remark make me shudder, vooohh!. This is no joke... RK, high pass filter sharpen is a technique one use to have the sharpening effect mostly on the edges (much more effective with blurred background that you don't want to sharpen). Here is a link to a page detailing the "how to": http://www.earthboundlight.com/phototips/high-pass-sharpening-photoshop.html In the current picture, USM would probably have rendered equivalent results. And please be frank - saying 'very nice' is good for the ego but not very helpful with regard to learning the art.. /Oved

Love dogs. Oved... whats hipass sharpen? Find the picture to be bit flat...maybe increasing the contrast will help. Hope I don;t come accross too negative...I am trying to say the way I see it...and I am no expert. - RK

Hmmmm :o) I love dogs, one German sheppard was guarding my cradle...but in this case we can be happy, that only the collar is red ;o))) Cheers, Armin

Thank you Alex for your comment. The dog was not very cooprative; as it saw me lifting the camera to my face it barked at me and ran away... (Scary dog, isn't it? :-) As for sharpening - my workflow has it both before and after the resize. I'll see what I can do with the background :-/ /Oved

Nice looking dog * This looks as if it is 100% crop. What is the purpose of sharpening before resize? Background is a tad too messy and distracting
