Rocky's a cute guy. But this is not your best work, Travis. There are processing and technical issues here. A lot of pixilation in the BG and fur under the ear and along the neck in right side of frame. Also the selective sharpening on the eyes doesn't look natural because the fur between is soft. And IMO on portrait shots the nose and eyes both need to be in focus.
Dan, you're right, it's not my best work. That's what happens when I drink too much wine and work in Lightroom.
I dunno. Some days I look like this, too.
