gud 1, good luck

looks neat but no high res... would love to see another background behind the dog though to make the frame stand out more i love ood images, they are my favourite

Idea is great but to be more effective demands few more things to work on it...First thing is gray background...my idea is to add some image of the beach or something like this.Frame should be thinner and work a bit more on perspective of the frame...With position shadow don't match,have to follow line of the dog...I will hold my vote...Good luck

yes, just like erathion says,..author.

When I learned about this technique (OOB), the tut I followed showed an image like this, with a grey background. But it turns the image a little monotonous; if you add a new BG, as erathion said, like a beach, or a contrastant image, like grass, for example, your main image would pop up.

the perspective of the picture frame is wrong but cool idea all the same

ALWAYS upload a high res entry with PH contests. It will really improve your overall score and show up the details of your chopping skills. No less that 1000 pxls wide should be sufice but on average 2000 to 3000 pxls is more preferable.
