Thanks Preston.


I lassoed the boy and part of the dogs chest from other photos and added them as a layer to the original. The putting together was all done with regular old masking.

The boy's left hand was what "scared" me, so I chose poses that looked like his arm should be around the dog anyway so I could leave it in place.

Of course, I probably should have tried for one more shot with his head showing in the first place, but by the end of the session when the hats came out, I think everyone had had enough.
