Default My Dog Annie
I actually don't know what I'm doing in Photoshop or Lightroom (Iceman would say I'm reckless) but this is what I got playing around last night.

It's a picture of my dog peeking around the corner into my bedroom.

I converted it to black and white, messed with the exposure levels slightly, whitened the eyes slightly, blurred the dog's left ear to keep focus on the eyes, cropped and added a vignette.

I second that. the black and white gives it a tremdous feeling of emotional and makes the viewer feel like they know the dog and what its about to do

Thanks for the complements! I hope to actually read one of the 10 books I've bought on CS4 to learn about layers and the like!
