 Thanks for all the comments. I'll get a better shot. By the way, should I not bother submitting this dog any more, or should I just do something more interesting with him? Specious (talk) 19:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC).

•  Oppose I see the black background as an improvement, but the masking isn't exactly masterful, the nose is lost in the background, and the shallow dof is more harmful here than in the one with the background. –Dilaudid 17:17, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

 It's true, I'm a n00b when it comes to manipulation. Next time I'll shoot against a better background for cutting out the subject. Thanks for the comments, guys! Specious (talk) 19:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC).
