Did all changes on new duplicate layer from top layer in stack.
1 Select top half of picture with lasso - across top of Murphy's back - feathered 7 pxls - subtracted Murphy's head - applied gaussian blur.
2 Selected Murphy feather 4 pxls - and lightened a touch with levels.
3 Sharpened Murphy with USM - 0.5 radius and not too much sharpening.
4 Still with selection, dodged head (set to highlights).
5 Selected sky with magic wand and re-set levels - black point slider only.
6 Flatten image>dup>levels for whole picture.
7 Flatten.
