This was another dog I took a photo of at last weeks Tamale Festival. The background consisted of the owner's legs and feet and a table. I don't have PS, only Lightroom, so I took out the background starting with a vignette and the the brush with -exp. & -brightness. Any other suggestions of another way I might have approached it?

Hey Doug,

Want to launch off the original file and make a small fun contest out of it?

Sure!

Thank you, Doug

Thanks, Jim.
Here's a version with a vignette with added grain.
