One of my Irish Wolfhounds, peering out from under the deck. The light and shadow play made this look like a much more interesting scene than a suburban back yard. A fleeting moment, captured.
PP - converted from RAW, straightened slightly, cropped, Viveza to darken a screw and brighten her face, cloned out a couple of bright spots on the deck posts and a bright patch on her shoulder, Nik Silver Efex (film noir 3, I think, flattened in Overlay mode at about 80% opacity), dodged/burnt/colored eye in places, resized, Nik Sharpen, CEP glamour glow.
