Thank you for the honest comments. I got a smile out of it. You know, some people get bent out of shape when someone says they don't like something or another. I, on the other hand, enjoy being told something is bad every now and again. I guess this will be one of those projects, like all of them start, something I enjoy alone. Anyways, just to prove I didn't "lasso" some dog and put it on a picture of "my" backyard, I am posting the originals as the title to this reply reads.
Before you say something about the darkness of the second picture, I realize it. Its dark, almost too dark. At the time I photographed the dog, I was trying for a dark, foreboding feel. It didn't turn out exact, but pretty close to what I had in mind. Again, thank you all for your honesty. Next time with photoshop I won't "push the adjustments to the limit."
With the dog photo I inverted and change hues of everything but the dog and with the kid's photo I inverted only him, changed hues and added the lens flare to his eyes leaving everything else in the photo for the most part, the same.
