I saw this cop car today and was a bit surprised at the driver. Ok, it was parked.

Both of these shots are the same, the first had CS2 "Shadows/Highlights" applied to the front window to try and pop the dog out a bit. I posted the second one so that anyone else can try to do better than I did and teach me a bit.

I left my keys in my other "pants".

Can anyone pop the dog better?

Thats a great shot. The dog is saying " whats the matter with you! haven't you ever seen a dog drive a car before?"

Really funny. Ours never cut costs, they just raise their ticket quotas.

Funny indeed. The dog looks very serious about it's job though.

Thanks for all of the nice comments. As I drove by, I just could not resist going back for a shot. I did not get too close. I did not want to upset the dog and he DID seem to know whose car it is.

No help from any Photoshop experts? The way I did the window looks a bot odd, I am sure it can be better.

I think I would exclude the mirror and window frame from the selection, just modify the glass area. You could try burning that area a bit to make it appear that the window was down, thus different from the others.

Awesome capture. I bet this is one of those shots that will end up all over the internet in "funny pictures" section.

I tried most of that. I could have taken more time and gotten the mask cleaner, but it DOES look better, I think.

Funny photo. My dog does the same thing when left in the car. As far as PS, I just used the pen tool to draw out and select just the dog. Then lighten the parts of him that are in the light, then unsarturate the selected dog to get rid of the blue.
