Shake It Off!

[mdmc]

I would appreciate any help to improve this photo. the first is the original frame, the second is after cropping, smudge, clone tools & noise ninja. All with limited skill. Also color variations to get sepia tone.
All help suggestions welcome. pse2 software.
Thanks,
Mark.

Mark,

I'd pick the second one, but the only problem I have with it is you lose definition of the fur and the snow on the underbody of the dog. Other then that nice action shot,

I like first shot with the dog in context, sepia seems a tad too warm for considering the snow. Nice soft image.

I like the first original version far better. As Laurie said having the dog in context and the fence is interesting and visually pleasing. I would only crop a bit off the left to get the dog out of center.

Jared, Laurie, Gary,
Thank you for taking the time to look and to post, and thanks for the suggestions!
I'll keep this one as a work in progress. I'll try and get a little more detail in the snow and on the fence and see what happens.
Mark.
