Mother Nature and Opec messed up my holiday weekend plans for a photo trip to the Albuquerque zoo, so I thought I'd spend the day painting a portrait of Sparky.
I liked this photo, except that the red eye correction was awful.
So I cropped it, switched to b/w, and stumbled upon a special effect that changed the eyes from "freaky" to "bright" and ended up with this portrait.
I like it so much that I decided to frame it and forget about painting - took a nice nap instead!
I hope you like it too.
