Dog looks a little uh, pasted in? Not so much? Perhaps the absence of any doggy footprints is a clue?

Because a dog would never walk forward from between trees.
Because a dog would never walk forward from between trees.
Yes, that's exactly how professional shoots work.
The art director will say "oh look a dog walked in" and the stylist will say "let's use it!" and then the photographer will say "I love how spontaneous these shoots are!"
This one made me LOL hard...I knew everything Martha™ was a little too perfect.
It's odd, because the cutout of the dog is actually quite good (around the head, fur, etc.) -- until you get to the bottom (legs)... It's like they said, "Christ, I'm sick of working on this dog..." and just lassoed the legs, hit delete, and called it done.
Fun blog. Just one suggestion: Have the pics link to enlargements.
Thanks.

What ungeziefer said...and there is the also troublesome lack of shadow as well.
I'm willing to bet it's the snow that has been retouched. that would explain the lack of shadow and the cut off feet. i bet the dog was originally in the shot with fake snow and lots and lots of doggy footprints.
Don't be silly. Martha has a team of snow brushers who tidy up the snow after the dog is in place. And they fluff the tree branches just so. Then they brush away their own footsteps.
Guys, this isn't really that hard.
The snow is not actually real.
There is a team of photo stylists on hand to place the fake snow exactly Just So (tm) , not to mention a dog handler to control the dog while all of this happens. The photographer then shoots bazillions of photos, so an editor or art director can then choose the one where the snow didn't look all messed up.
Any mistakes can then be retouched from there. Which isn't really all that appalling -- I do about the equivalent on my vacation photos.
I spit my coffee out when this came up and I read the title
Maybe it's just a very-well-done ceramic dog hehehe
