I very often use PSP X to tidy up shots. Mostly colour balance and contrast but from time to time I am not adverse to removing a rouge object or two.

hee hee! I wish I'd spotted that myself! I really wanted a better view in the background - York Minster - but I couldn't get the ange low enough and still be able to see the primulas...

Actually, I have to admit, all the other shots have been photoshopped (tidied?) a smidge - one to remove a telegraph pole, two to get rid of my impromptu D-lock kickstand, and one to remove my feet

I was annoyed about my feet! You'd think I'd have noticed them....

Often a camera will photograph more than the view finder will show you, especially on a TTL setup. I always try to shoot a scene with the view to being able to crop the outer edges off. Purists will say that is the wrong way to go about it, I say "I think I was pure once"

Well I was cleaning my chain and came up with the idea of a daisy chain:

And another:

Don't worry there was still loads left on the lawn afterwards...

Well I was cleaning my bike and came up with the idea of a daisy chain:

That is brill, Summerdays!

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Does it affect the 'petal'ing?

That is brill, Summerdays!

I thought about it and then thought how long it would take to remove squashed daisys from my now clean chain. (Plus didn't want to harm the daisies)

Summerdays,
I absolutely love these pics .
Any chance I could purchase a copy of each as a high quality printed photo.
Would love to frame them and put them up in the house...
