I had to take a second and do the where's waldo thing, but I did eventually find the real pet. Too cute.

Took me a moment or two to find the imposter! Novel idea that works well, and gave me a smile.

Ah, there his is hiding in the back row! Great idea, but I think it could've gone over better with just one color background and a matching "floor." The reason for this is that all the stuffed animals add a lot of complexity to the image, so it's not that helpful to have additional complexity in the background and foreground. The dog is very, very cute!

Comment by JopperTom:
Thank you all for your encouraging and helpful comments and votes. I was on a retreat with a church and I went wandering around after a long day of giving Praise to God and was looking for a peaceful scene in all the snow. I heard peaceful running water and came across this man-made fountain. There were many peaceful scenes that God created, but with my limited skill at "night snow covered landscape photography", this fountain was a Gift.

After a couple of hours in the snow in tennis shoes, I didn't really get the shot I desired and had to crop out much of interest. Each fall in the fountain has an incandescent accent light behind it. The third one above the photo was bright and blown out.

I sharpened, cropped, shifted the hue to a bluish tint, lowered saturation and applied noise removal. That sounds awfully simple...perhaps more or less blue, sharper or softer...who knows, I tried many combos. I am very happy with the score and comments. Thank you and God Bless you and your family.
