My beautiful boy Jack being the perfect model for this fun parody challenge ! I have used the blue ribbon winner from the Defining Feature Challenge which I must say is an exceptional photo ! Took about 30 shots and narrowed it down to this one.
Convert to Grayscale, crop, saturation, brightness and contrast. Slight adj to levels, curves. USM add border.

Thankyou everyone for your kind words and comments! I think if this was in a different challenge it may have placed higher for the average score received (6.2), normally that would be around the top 10.....oh well I'll keep at it ! I am more than pleased with this average score so early on in my DPC submissions !
I keep coming back to this one. I really like the selective desat here. The focus and composition is good as well. I just feel like I should reach out and pet this pup. Just something about this I find sweet and engaging.
I'm no fan of pet shots particularly, but this, given the challenge and your chosen source ... I have no idea what to think. I think I like it - both the shot itself, which has the mournful put-upon-ness of a pet when they're being messed about with, and a nicely subversive realtionship to the original and all it's many 'close companion pieces'
