RMoore, I really like the 6th pic you posted. I know it's not 007, but still...

Katie, maybe if you tried a different angle on your subject instead of just straight on. That way you wouldn't have had the parking lot or the signs in the pic either. And I agree that it's so small it's hard to see any detail.

What about from another angle? Also clone out the leaf and wires in photoshop, maybe you could even clone out the sign too. Did you like what I did with your first shot?

yeah, probably, but I had fun anyway.
It's actually one of my neighbor's houses, I asked his permission prior to taking it and posting it. The detail they put in to working on their house is amazing, they handcut all the shingles in order to have them fit properly in the pattern they wanted, and the owner made the stained glass window in front himself. Just beautiful. everytime I drive by it, I appreciate it even more.

Just getting those two posts together.

I think it's quite interesting to know the 'story' and be able to see the pic at the same time.

(And I like the dog! It was a 'where's waldo' moment for me!)

Katie, one of the things I have learned is that if you want to be a good photographer you have to get photoshop and learn it, it makes a world of difference in your pictures.
