From my garden

I have a feeling that I can make this even better with Photoshop. Any ideas?

And this is the last one in the series, unless I go out today and take more... :)

I personally like this one a lot.

About a month ago I picked up my camera after a long hiatus and wandered about the neighborhood, exploring streets I had never seen before. I ended up peeking through the fences of people's back yards and found whole worlds within. I held off posting these for a long time since the white balance is off and different for each photo, but I've decided that they're done and I like what I have.
This photo is the first in the series.

Check out the new transparent background for my iMac!
Alas, I'm not the first to find the transparency setting... other examples can be found here.

the dusty side is the side that faces the refridgerator and which I never use. I swear.

I'm a little bothered by the composition (am I allowed to use that word? I think I will do so out of protest) but I really like how the blurry tines flow and slope into focus. This was taken in the same session as the cheese grater but with a paper towel over the window to soften the light. While I was taking the pictures I thought that the paper darkened it too much but I really like the soft effect it produced.

Here is another one which I think is more interesting but perhaps less good technically.

I chose this photo to begin my photoblog with because it's one of my favorite photos at the moment. I'm really happy with the way the silver looks, particularly in contrast to the darker nubs and I love how the angle makes it look like a skyscraper.
