yes, obviously desaturated the arm with photoshop. i think it looks better this way. :)

The first one is very pleasing!

The arm makes me think of Casper.

=D

Cheers!

Yea that arm like that seems a little wierd to me...maybe try desaturating everything except the arm and the orange? I think that would send a message across better at least.

I have to head off to school, I'll post mine when I get back.

Good stuff bernie. Thinking as I'm having my morning OJ, how nice it would be to grab some fresh from the garden.

Here are a couple crocus' that have since left:

yeah PJ, it would be quite nice to grab fresh oranges from your own yard... alas that tree is in a neighbor's yard. i'd hafta walk half way down the lane... so yeah, we keep tropicana in the fridge. ;)

lovely crocus! you caught a bastard fly in that last snap. :lol:

shpoop, i know it looks a bit weird & that is exactly what i like about it. but then, hey! i am weird. hehe :p

I hope you enjoy this collection... Spring has finally sprung here... Had to take a couple of Nature shots.

I can never get my flower shots to turn out well. Probably because I've yet to merge souls with my camera.

Beautiful still life with the vase, bernie.
