This is Bully. He\\\'s part bulldog, and part... um... we\\\'re not terribly sure. Maybe part Yoda. Maybe part cow.
He\\\'s so ugly he\\\'s funny. Hubbies best friends dog - so hes a truckers pup. Hes the logo for his trucking company. Hes homely in ways I cant even find words for. This is a Bully Portrait. And it made me think of this song when I took it. LOL
The song is from the Yellow Submarine album.
More drawnburn type editing. No borders, no crop. Dodge and Burn but you can still see everything. Nothing removed. No cloning. Ugh, I\\\'m so terrified of a DQ again I should be medicated...
The short version - fix exposure in RAW, save as JPG, rotate, crop, glow, dragonized (with grunge layers removed), levels, resize, convert to BW, dodge and burn.
I\\\'ll be happy to breakdown the glow and dragonizer actions if anyone wants them....

Simple B&W presentation really makes the focal point of your photo pop off the page. The white tones of the doggie really pop off of the dark hues in his surrounding environment. And that expression!!! That wonderfully smug happy 'smile' on the dog's face is just great! As I look at it I do indeed hear the lines "What makes you think you're something special when you smile?" Hey Bulldog, I give you an 8.
I like the b/w conversion and I like that you include the lamp in the crop - it adds interest. It appears that there is too much post processing such as neat image because the textures have a smeared look to them. 6
