Your shaggy bush is a beautiful hibiscus! How gorgeous! Both pix look good. It all depends upon what effect you are after. This one is lighter as you can see :)

I like this too. What don't you like about it? My neighbor has these roses (in pink) and I sneak over there to get shots too LOL I usually do auto levels and that would brighten the petals. If auto levels sucks, then I do it manually :)

This is awful, espcially since one of the dogs in the cage looks uncannily like my German Shepherd! And I DO make a distiction between my dog and a cow or a pig. Dogs bond to people and offer unconditional love, protection, and loyalty. Killing them for any reason is abhorrent. What a way to reward these traits - ones we humans should nurture!
Have to go and kiss my Shiloh now....
