Here's a version where I did nothing but select the dog and raise the curves on it. Then I inverted the selection to select the rest of the picture and
reduced the blue and cyan saturation in the sky a bit.
Nothing else was done to the background other than reduction of blue/cyan saturation.
Nothing else done to the foreground other than curve increasing.
Guess I said the same things twice

| LOL..I am sorry , I just gotta laugh at that face...lol... I like that much better NIki, but that is just my opinion on it!! En I think you could quite successfully blend those fingers in , especially if you are much better in ps than ...ohhhh let's sayyyyyy ME I don't have a hyper dog but I cant even get him to look at me when I have the camera so all you can do is the best you can do...I have to have a steak in my hand but then he usually just knocks me down lol..not really but he wouldnt be a centimeter away from me!!

Way dark on my screen.
Sky over-saturated.
Dog has slight halo effect around edges.
I used Katrin Eissann's Fill Flash PS action
on this at almost 100% opacity, which is very
unusual to be required, and then some curve and saturation adjustments.
Not totally pleased with the result but its definitely
better than it was, in my view anyway.
Yours looks better. It actually looks more like what I saw last night when editing it. It is maybe just a touch too bright but it's the best of the lot looking at it here. Mine actually looks too dark to me now as well. So, I guess it's back to the drawing board AGAIN. Obviously we are all seeing different things. I am sure that you all know how to correct an image for contrast/color so I am not questioning your skills certainly. I am sure that when looking at your own images they look like the best of the three. So, what can one do?

| Second version looks best to me. I'd tone down that hot spot by the dog's left ear.

You see a hot spot?
LOL. This is comical.
Well...I guess I am going to have to just calibrate to my printer and give up on the whole online contest thing. I haven't even thought about printer calibration yet. Aye aye aye!

I was referring to the white area of sky where the dog's left ear (not the ear on the left of the picture) meets the top of his forehead. I think the image would be improved if you cloned in some blue sky there.

Oh, I got it. We should standardize it...EVERYONE should have a LG Flatron L1932TQ 19" with 1400:1 contrast ratio and a Sony Vaio Desktop. 'Nuf said.
