In this image I decided to make a mask because the background has a lot of distractions such as the yellow snow and all the bright green and brown branches. I also added motion blur to the background so that it really emphasized my dog, Seven. This picture really means a lot to me because my dog is really sick right now and he only has five months to live but he looks so happy in this picture. Right now he trying to catch the flying treat that I threw and he seems to have full focus on it. I will always remember this image because it really says to me, no matter what gets you down in life, always appreciate the little things you have.
