My first attempt...

.... with PS Elements 7.0 I just got it today for $50 from their website! I have been using Gimp and am quite happy with it but had to give this a shot. The price was right! I snapped this with my Oly FE370. The eyes were really screwy-looking so they are completely redone. Did a little cropping and a TAD of USM. BTW, it runs pretty good on a Linux box.

I also use GIMP/Linux... and love it! :)

Nice photo, you did a good job.

Good looking dog !
