I took one million shots of this dog trying so hard to get his eyes in focus with the little light I had. This shot which was second to last had Booker looking so weird that I just couldn\'t stop laughing so I figured this had to be the one to submit. It was such a fluke also that the background worked so well with his colours.

Made his orange areas stand out a tiny bit more
Burned a little of Booker\'s forehead where it was a touch overexposed.
Burned floor a touch to bring out some details

8 - Good Lord.. I thought this was a statue/figurine. Good portrait and very good background/elements. Nice colors. Good focus/focal areas. Perhaps the main thing is an odd 'finish' to the image, which could be post processing.. that and the tip of the tail, but fairly minor.
This one should be part of an ad for Fido (the cell phone company)! Booker looks like there's been some trouble brewing somewhere. Wonder where the chewed up stuff is hidden? *grin*
