I can see the edges of all your masking where you've blurred and sharpend, etc. Try feathering your masked selections. If you can't see them on your monitor it might need calibrating.

That aside I think these are good dog portraits. Interesting compositions and good focus on the eyes. The last one might have benefited with a deeper DOF to get both eyes in focus :)

These are very restrained for automaton2. He can't be well! :p

OK. I've gone back through some of your older posts and I see this is all part of your style. I like your style and I really like a lot of your older posts. Love the effect...

... but I don't think it works with these. Just looks like you've made bad mistakes during processing. I think the hard edges of the masking needs to be either more extreme or not at all.

Just what i was thinking!
Love the last shot, although I don't think these work as well as your people shots.

I love the last of these in particular. Thank you for not giving them your usual treatment - while I can understand its use on people (people do after all change their own appearances in various ways - make-up, hair colour, piercings etc) I wouldn't like to see it done on animal shots.

Nice stuff!

If you leave a line between your pics when you post them, it helps a great deal for us lot looking at them. :)
