A little humor

A little humor for a Saturday morning. Inspired by the movie E. T.: Do you remember when E. T. hid in the closet camouflaged by all of the stuffed animals? Well, I put this picture together of a cocker spaniel puppy hiding among a bunch of stuffed dog toys. I used Topaz Remask 5 to separate the various subjects from their original backgrounds and then simply cut and pasted all the elements together in Photoshop. I used Edit > transform > scale to size all the components appropriately, and I was careful to photograph everything in the same lighting -- soft and diffused. For some of the photos of the stuffed animals, I went to Toys R Us and took pictures in their store.
