Thankgiving afternoon. The boy's sister was sitting on the top stair, but she had her bottom lip turned inside out and her upper lip tucked against her teeth...so she is invisible now.

This is gorgeous Michelle, great tones and comp. #6828599Nancyj E. Hovey November 30, 2008
What a cutie, doggie and little boy. I agree with Doug - now we want to see the invisable become visable - the sister. lol. Love the composition, the lighting, and that expression is priceless. Great timing! 8o) #6828612Carolyn M. Fletcher November 30, 2008
Me, too!! This is adorable, but I want to see her, too! #6828621Michelle Alton November 30, 2008
OK...by Popular Demand (giggle), here is the original! #6828637Anne M. Young November 30, 2008

Boy if we could make some people disappear with ps, I be in hog heaven. Great dd work, Michelle, and awesome image #6828698Michelle Alton November 30, 2008
Yes, I did. Well, all except her polka-dotted stockinged foot...which I just realized is still visible! #6828708Stephanie Frey November 30, 2008
LOL, I would have never had noticed if you had not pointed it out. Still, excellent work! #6828717Nancyj E. Hovey November 30, 2008
Oh lol, Michelle, that is cute...I didn't notice the stocking foot either, until you mentioned it. I still had a difficult time 'seeing' it with these old eyes. Love it. 8o) #6828738Tiia Vissak November 30, 2008
a cute image! #6828796Deb Koskovich November 30, 2008
Ok, I laughed three times over this! Once because the boy and dog are so darn CUTE, especially with the title you gave it. Secondly, the girl just cracked me up, and third when I went back to the version that you entered to see the girl's feet!! So thanks for the multiple chuckles, and may I just say ... WINNER!!! #6828803Tammy M. Anderson November 30, 2008
This is fantastic, Michelle. This has to be a winner. I loved the whole story behind this image getting to this point too. Just terrific. #6828843Nadine A. Lewis November 30, 2008
I say, "FANTASTIC" as well, Michelle!!! LOVE the tones and slight effects!!! I'm sure we'll see this again!!!! <>< #6828985Ron McEwan November 30, 2008
It is not as hard on him because he has his best friend with him. Ha! A precious shot here, well done for sure. #6828988Howard B. Cheek November 30, 2008
Hi Michelle,Joseph N. DiGilio November 30, 2008
Nice job Michelle. I love this capture. It's interesting how some dogs gravitate to the young ones. Sometimes I think it's because they are protective. Sometimes because they pet them and other times its just because they drop lots of food. These two just look like they are hanging out, enjoying each others company during intermission. Great editing as always. #6829090Bojan Bencic November 30, 2008
Fantastic photo and story, Michelle. So cute. #6829097Bill Wyatt November 30, 2008
WOW this is gorgeous the light and colors are fantastic! Excellent work here Michelle! #6829102Murry Grigsby November 30, 2008
Or man's best friend :0) This is wonderful Michelle! I love the moment, square crop, effects, just everthing about it. Well done!! #6829180Lynn M. Whitt November 30, 2008
Ahhh, that is too cute... #6829295Bonnie C. Lackey November 30, 2008
The title says it all, Michelle. This is precious! Your comments made me laugh - you're like the fairy godmother who, with a touch of her wand, can make pouty little girls just disappear! #6829304Jessica Jenney November 30, 2008
The wonders of Photoshop! LOL! I really think think both photos are adorable! And so is your story, Michelle! You did a fantastic job! #6829380Wally Orlowsky November 30, 2008
Great scene and work, Michelle! If only it were so easy to remove uncooperative children in real life ;) #6829505William C. Raco November 30, 2008
What a wonderful portrait of the boy and his pupMelissa G. Meiselman November 30, 2008

A darling child and dog, Michelle. Your treatment and muted colors give this image such a beautiful antique look. Turning his sister "invisible" must've taken quite a bit of work! Great job! #6837844Renata Gusciora December 02, 2008

Oh, that is such a thorough time out for the sister, LOL. But I love the title for what remains, and I love the color palette, and it's so much fun wondering what the boy and dog did that got them this most photogenic time out. :) #6844877Cassie L. Woodlee December 03, 2008
