In the final part of assignment 1 I adjusted a few things in camera raw. The first was the exposure, the original seemed to be a little over exposed so I changed that a little. I then went on and put the blacks up a bit as well as putting the vibrance up. I then sharpened the image slightly. I again used the quick selection and lasso tool to separate the dogs head from the background saved it as a smart object rotated it slightly and put it into a new background.
