I noticed and appreciated the fact that you took my suggestions about where to develop yourself (pointing towards the fact that the last few pics you've done have included the area's I thought you could stand to develop)



Photo Manipulation is in itself a difficult thing to master; fooling the eye into believing a consistent reality within the picture when in fact that reality doesn't exist requires a lot of attention to detail since most eyes will pick up those flaws (and many won't understand why it bothers them). The more off from reality you get, the harder it is to fool the viewer, and that's why things like tails and muzzles are extremely difficult to even begin to do. Simply "stretching" textures works, but you know as well as I do how fake it looks. I appreciate the fact that you're trying despite the fact that you aren't trying to develop yourself as an artist in quite the same way as someone like Kurt (less-than-human). You and antidote in this thread are both consistently improving and trying new things which is great; your pictures are often slightly more realistic, but you stick to easier stuff and slower more consistent progression; his vary in quality depending on how far off from reality he gets, but he has some magnificent photo manipulations.

I'm just happy in the end that you're both still trying and not getting bored.
