I thought it showed the devolution from Man to dog. Nah, jokes aside I love it. Great job. Can you share a bit about how it was done? I assume four shots, composited into one using a simple layer mask?

Lighting is key to this one, I used a deep octa facing the subject and offset to their right. This allows the light fall off which helps us later on when we need to start layering each exposure over one another.
Its actually not too time consuming to create this which is great. I thought I would have had problems with our dog but I was blessed to get it in the first couple of shots. from working with dogs before I know how lucky I was.

Very cute, though the baby appears a bit soft, and for a fun shot...why so serious? However, the lighting definitely works, well done.
