Cat or Dog? pictures - "By now you've probably heard of the black Persian cat Sebastian which looks like a bulldog due to its bottom teeth sticking out in an underbite - its pictures have been making the rounds on the net. Well, few people know that the cat is actually owned by a dentist (why am I not surprised?) who has given Sebastian gold crowns to strengthen his bottom teeth. The dentist said the cat was upset with its new look and didn't 'speak' to him for two days. Well, I'd be upset too, if one day I woke up looking like a bling-bling bulldog, when God originally created me as somebody else. And if you want a dog for a pet, get a dog, and don't buy a cute cat so that you can turn it into a mean looking bulldog by dental and plastic surgeries. I can understand though that a bulldog looking cat can be handy as it keeps a house safe and yet it does not eat as much. However, when was the last time you saw a starving dentist, who can't afford to keep a dog?
In this contest, let us warn all pet owners and show what these cat-dog pets may look like. So basically take a cat and give it dog features, or vise versa. The "face" of your pet has to contain features of both a cat and a dog, but there are no restrictions on the rest of the body.
Dog pictures - Show a dog of any politician or celebrity that looks like them. Photoshop dogs and their owners to prove the above psychological theory.
The Bourne Ultimatum, Simpsons, and Underdog pictures -
This weekend's box office winner is "The Bourne Ultimatum" by Universal followed by the two movies by Disney - "The Simpsons", and "Underdog".
It's interesting the "The Bourne Ultimatum" earned twice more than its first installment "The Bourne Identity" on its opening day, and still more then the second film "The Bourne Supremacy". However the shooting costs for the successful third "Bourne" were much higher too, reaching 110 million.
Merge either of the movies "The Bourne Ultimatum", "Underdog", and "The Simpson" via movie stills or posters. Combining all three movies into one is also welcome. Let's also see what movie titles may be written for these three merged movies.
Celebrity Dogs pictures -
There's a popular theory that people tend to pick up dogs that at
some level bear resemblance to them. The research conducted at
University of California, San Diego found that independent judges
correctly matched about 75% of 25 dogs and their owners, based just on
the "similarities" found in the photos of dogs and photos of their
owners.
Photoshop dogs of any celebrities or politicians to show that they
indeed resemble their owners. You can simply photoshop a dog that belongs to some celebrity, or show BOTH a dog and its celebrity owner in one image.
Here is example 1 , example 2, and example 3.
Please include the celebrity names in your titles.
Dog Supplies pictures - Create images of dog supplies and products that are normally associated with humans.
Watchdog pictures - Photoshop this watchdog image (CLICK HERE to download) any way you wish. Some examples are - giving the watchdog or a girl climber some new clothes or objects, changing the girl or the watchdog for some other figures, putting them in the environment, movies, paintings. These are just some ideas.
You have 3 days to submit your entry. Submitting it early will give you plenty of time to read the critique comments and edit your image accordingly.
Many thanks to Yarik Mission and Stock Exchange for providing the source image.

Awwww - such a sad little sweety.
Dog pictures - / looks sweet, funny too, if he had a mini segway it'd be even sweeter, it could be the new celebrity fad, if dogs in handbags took off then i don't see why penguins on segway can't / This is terrific. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that this was a regular photo. Not to mention the fact that the girl is dressed in black & white as well. (Mom always wanted a pet penguin.) / looks simply on my eyes but great execution.nice color combination. lovely. / Thank's to all for its messages, was a good image where I obtained to leave very next to the reality, it sees link to follow where they will count the images that I used.

Please view full image. / Look, you can bring me flowers and recite all the poetry you want, but if you hump my leg again, you're out the door. / great Caption chocho. Beautiful Cassanova Pooch. Great show. / The entry is superbly done and looks like a real artistic photo. Chocho's caption is golden. / Great great execution on thisone, i love it.

Prairie Dogs pictures - Please view full / Lots of work here. These newlyweds prairie dogs look very realistic. / It's the best. Really good. / Cute pic but I didn't know female prairie dogs had a chest.
Superdog and Newspaper Stand pictures - CiCi is a normal dog. 'CC' is a superdog. But what nobody knows, is that they are one and the same. / Very good. . . . and my wife's favorite so far. My only 2 technical suggestions would be to try fading the tie just a tad more and make the whites of the newspaper photo look like the the newsprint color (in other words, if you look at a black-and-white pic in a newspaper, the lightest parts aren't any whiter than the bare paper). / I love this. The most amazing and superbly done entry in this contest, in my opinion. / Thanks for the feedback so far. Raygregory, I've made the two changes you've suggested. Looks better now, doesn't it. / Yes, I agree, certainly looks much more real now. The one other thing I would suggest (tho I realize it's too late now to change it), would be to add some brightness/contrast to the whole thing. I think that would liven it up some. Here's a tip: Often when I do something, it looks great on my screen. But then when I load it up to FN after it's "optimized," it looks kinda lame. I've found that by adding an adjustment mask on top of all the layers and then over-revving either the saturation or the brightness/contrast (this takes some experimentation), the uploaded image can be much improved. / Lotsa work went into this one. Great job. / Very funny idea backed up by some great choppage / Even better after edit - see ya in the top 3. / great idea, i love the reflection , just awsome / cool idea, but a little blurry. it needs lit'le more of contrast and sharpness -for me. / . First place with a 7.7. Thanks everyone. I noticed in the voting history that I voted relatively low for the entries in this contest. This was not my intention. This is only the second contest I'm participating in and I haven't had much experience with voting so far. I wouldn't have given my own image any more than a 6 I think. So, my apologies for my low voting. It was not my intention to be unfair. edit: I now see that the first contest I participated in, was an ADVANCED Photoshop contest, and this one an APPRENTICE contest. So I guess I was comparing these images to the ones in the advanced contest.
Dog Food pictures - Souce Pics / the front of the can looks a bit flat but the expression of the dog's face is priceless. / Thanks franky. I worked on the can a bit more. Hope it doesn't look quite so flat to you now. I also added a source link of the pics I used to create this bag. / wonderful.. i love it. (oh, the bottom of the "net weight" text on the can got lost. just if you have time to fix that...) / OOps. All fixed. Thanks again franky. This makes me smile when I look at it and your suggestions only helped make the image better. / i think it makes us all smile.. humor,i like it. and wel done it looks really good / this is the right time to put it to my favs... i learned a lot from the comments i got here. well, i guess that's what they are written for. / nice job on the perspective and can shape. Very funny idea as well. Bag doesn't look quite right. It appears you made it from scratch. If so, pretty good job, you might have found working with an image of a actual bag might have been a bit easier. Still over all a very good entry. Quite impressive / Quality work. The packaging does look made from scratch - good photoshopping.
