This picture is not a work of art, but it was such a funny situation I wanted to share it with you. I was under my kitchen sink installing a new garbage disposal, and just as I was lifting the new unit to fit into the mounting bracket, my cat, Ming, filled the drain hole with his head. I didn't know he was up there. Then he stuck his paw through the opening, trying to play with my fingers. It was the cutest thing, so I put the disposal down and took a few pictures with my iPhone (which I'd been using as a flashlight). The only thing I did to this picture in post-processing was remove the green from Ming's right eye (our left). Just like redeye in people, the eyes of dogs and cats reflect green from a flash. To do this, I selected the eye with the lasso tool, feathered the edge one pixel with Select > modify > feather, then chose Image > adjustments > hue/saturation. I moved the saturation slider all the way to the left which made the eye devoid of color, i.e. black and white. I then used Image > adjustments > levels and darkened the eye.
