Yup, original background. The dog is much darker than he appears in the picture. In order to get fur details on him the background has to go.


edit: A pic of our other dog shows the "black dog dilemma" pretty well. Brighten the dog, and the snow will be blown. Darken to get snow detail, and the dog will be a detail free blob. I just need to wait for Canon's 48-bit per channel sensor so I can do high-quality HDR tonemapping on a single image... or get brighter dogs
