 taken quickly this evening. I only had about 5 minutes to take the pics (my daughter really had to go potty!). I wish I had paid attention to the blown out sky.

PP - layers for curves, selective color (to give the white sky just a touch of black), then black and white (with a sepia tone) and curves for overall brighten. Flatten, then USM at large radius, then small. resize, added border, save for web.

Oh yes! There is something about a worn out truck used as a garden prop. I wonder if there's someone who could tell stories about it. nice!

Flowers on top are a bit too brite since they blend in with the sky but I really enjoy this one.

this works very well in sepia. Only downside is that the flowers blend in with the sky.

The pot seems less the subject compared to the truck.
