My dog and post processing. Yeah I over processed a little and it seems as if most voters liked it although I cannot be sure. But I don't think I'll go to that extreme again. It seemed to suit the atmoshere at the time.
As yet the score ain't high enough to get on my profile but I am happy with the direction...

I like it a lot. I feel like I am watching some grand adventure about to unfold.

Something about the editing I don't like. Can't put my finger on it exactly. I don't like the colors in the sky, looks too much like magma. Also, your sheperd has a reddish glow on his right side, but it's only him. Nothing else has that glow, and there isn't much red to the far right of the sky; it's mostly straight on. The reflection of the sky in the water around the sheperds feet looks blue and cloudy, so it doesn't match the sky very much. I really like the focus and clarity of the photo though. IDK, it seems to me a bit over-edited?

Honestly, I don't really know what I'm doing though, so there might be people who compliment you on what I've critiqued.

Love the alien planet portion of the shot. The perspective is really odd on the dog (makes his rump look huge and his front look miniature), and the sky is a bit much...

Will probably finish near the top.

It's a wonderful picture but there are two things I don't like: the editing of the sky and I don't think it's matching the title of the challenge - too warm colors.

One of my favorites for this challenge, although it might still be a bit too "warm". But i'm a fan!

I find the HDR in this to be slightly distracting. If you follow the Shepard's eyes, it sends you into the land of evil red halo's. In terms of the challenge-cool colors, the foreground is quite mute, but when you go to the sky, the colors seem hyper-real, with the halo's creating shapes all of their own. ((I love how the dog found the only wet spot to stand in))Overall, It's not terrible, but it has some post processing that doesn't agree with my taste --Non-Participant

I'm not sure what to make of this. The german shepherd and the foreground are in excellent detail, but the sky looks very over-processed and unnatural.

Very, very beautiful Ammie. I recognize your dog and the landscape.
