Oh, BRAVO, Shez! Spring is really happening there isn't it. What a fresh pretty contrast to all our golds and autumn browns. The sunlight just glows on this lovely flower.

Oh yes it does! Aren't we becoming the texture extraordinaire's :)

The texture really turns this from ordinary to WOW! I love the old feel that the texture gives this.

Ooooooh. . .that background. . . .I see a cooool texture there. If you took a picture of just the background and posted it, I'd scarf it up and use it as a texture overlay on some pictures :)

But oh. . your daughter. . .scrumptious :)

I actually think the blur is very effective in this one just like it is. Blur is the new "thing" and used properly, it adds energy and pop to a photo. In this case, if she were totally sharp, it might look fake, like you added a motion blur and erased her.

Awwwww. .. My kids are all grown, and my heart still melts when I look at old pictures of them like this! I have one where my son fell asleep with his new baseball glove on. He couldn't part with it, even in his pajamas.

She's precious!

Oooooh, I missed this one. What a treat! Somehow, even with the grunge effect, it feels warm and festive for Halloween. I know everything about your house and yard oooozes with your decorative flair!

What a noble pose he's giving you! A moving car! You are so good. Lately, I've been wanting to go to the coast again so much. Coastal scenery is so darn photogenic!

I love that framing too for a touch of class!

Ohhhhh that is so COOOOOOL!!!!!! One thing that helps cloning come off better is if you change the exposure at the top down to a lower opacity and make your brush not totally soft, but not too hard.

I love this just like it is. . .but if didn't have the power lines, it would be art store gallery work!!!

Darn, I want to be there!!!!!!

I'll say the reds are interesting! Those are aMAZING autumn colors! When you asked if you should saturate it, I was in awe that you hadn't already saturated it! WOW! And how I love the quaint umbrella'd pedestrian.

I want to live there! I love mountains, and the resulting crooked everythings. I find that with my photos in the Rockies too. Crooked is gorgeous!

This is such a beautiful animal portrait. Ears perfectly straight up and "posed". The lighting is so wonderful. He just looks radiant!
