See hi-res, then you'll understand the title. ;-)

Basic photoshop tools and methods, lots of images and a couple of brushes from Brusheezy and Obsidian Dawn.

There have been a few entries that I just can't figure out how in the world they got first place; much like this muddy mutt in a dog show.

thanks bobike for lhasa photo. Has been notified.

I used pieces from the lhasa photo to create the background and tried to blend it together. The text I simplified and used dodge and burn.

"Hey Mommy! Look what I caught!"

"Good job Dear!"

"Can I keep it Mommy?"

"No Dear, you have to let it go, or else there might not be any fish for you to catch later."

"Ok Mommy."

Thank you to bogdog Dan for posting the source image on Flickr.
