Photoshop experts: Can the leash be removed from the picture?

Odin you totally overdid it. I think a mix between the original and yours might be a good compromise and work well. But you definitely over adjusted.

Perhaps. It's not like I spent a lot of time on it. Maybe 5 minutes if that.

I'm just trying to get him to think a bit.

I like this look myself. I'm used to working on video though, so I'm not a huge photo nut.

If you printed both of those images, mine would look better.

I work at a professional photo lab and I just printed both images. In yours, the dog looks a bit better due to the increased saturation, but the overall saturation of the entire photo blows away any kind of detail in the whole image. Everyone that I've asked that's working with me prefers the first Photoshop edit.

I think both images are great, but the first edit with a +1 or +2 on saturation look spectacular out of the printer. Heavy sharpening on the dog's tongue looks pretty gross when printed, so the softer image is preferred to my eyes.

As always from a photographer's standpoint, sharpening, saturation, and overall color balance (cold, warm, b & w) is a very personal preference and is always left in the eye of the beholder.

Remove some of that blur in the shadows and you have a thread winner, its usually the way I do "heavenly stuff"

This is why I stick to video production! What part of the image are you specifically talking about with the shadows?

 

[jamesbond007]

I believe ShadowOfMyself is talking about the excessive blurring of the background and instead would have just blurred or softened the dog only, though I could be wrong. Maybe the vignetting?

Nice work, btw.

Thanks! All I did was a quick color adjustment, vignette and blur effect. I also touched up his collar area, but it's kind of crappy looking. It was a 2 minute touch-up that I didn't want to spend a lot of time tweaking

Sharpened and a bit of exposure adjust.

there are some red dots towards the middle right of the photo...were those there before?

If you're talking about the berries/flowers on whatever that bush is, then yes.
