Most of my pet images are pretty much “unfooled around with” meaning that I do minimal editing on them.  Usually just some contrast and levels adjustments.  This image, however, was calling for something extra so I popped it into Topaz Adjust and used the Spicify filter along with converting it to black and white.  In this image is a Dogue de Bordeaux hanging out with his owner at the Back Mountain Kennel Club dog show last month.  This breed has such a unique look – I love their expressive face!  I wonder if a little Oil of Olay would help with his wrinkles?  🙂
