I had forgotten about this photo. This is my dog, Darby, waiting for something to happen. In the background is Titch, the cat we recently lost to the pit bulls. She was sleeping in front of the fireplace. I like how she fades into the background against the gray carpet. We used to call her "the gray ghost" and this image sort of portrays that.

Comments are welcomed. Is there any way to improve either version? Thanks, Lauren

1. Minor levels and shadows/highlights adjustment in Aperture.

2. Single image tonemapping in Photomatix, with some PS curves adj and darkening of carpet.
