What a priceless image! I like the sepia tone as well. Very nicely done.

I really like it the way that it is. It really makes me feel like I am there watching her take that picture. Great job!

Very nice image. Truly like the sepia conversion.

So ... how did the image of the dog look?

Best regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,
The image of Bo was only "okay". Not worth posting. But....the conversation was great. He had had a busy day chasing squirrels and whatnot.
Cheers,
Abigail

Wonderful shot the way it is. I don't think color would work as well. Great job!

Love the tone. How do you get such a rich brown color? I've been wanting to experiment more w/ toning. I've tried it, but the colors just don't seem right, to orange or something...

Russel Brown, the Photoshop guru from Adobe, has a tips & techniques site which shows you how, and better yet, has the downloadable ACTION that you install to automatically tone your images. Go here and scroll down to "Photo Toner Technique". Watch the video and then download the free ACTION. ~Sam
