    White dog

    I just liked the beautiful expression of the dog and therefore I deliberately reduced texture and clarity in Photoshop because I just wanted the teeth, eyes and mouth to dominate. C&C welcome.

    I would like to have seen the original. I would like some detail in the hair on the head and on the nose

    Roy, I did not want any detail on the head.

    Ole,
    something is wrong in your treatment. the hairs at the bottom are not so blurred than his forehead in the same plan.

    I think you got the result you wanted, and I like the effect, however unusual.

    It appears you achieved what you were trying to accomplish. The next question I would have to ask is whether it works or not?

    In my view, the answer is no. Smooth textureless areas in a place we normally expect texture is a hard sell visually.

    That being said, keep on experimenting. That's the only way we can figure out what we like and don't like.

    It would be nice to see the original too. I understand what you are trying to do, yet the photo seems very noisy, and thus the focus in on the teeth/mouth doesn't really work too well...
