@Toofan: Where did you find that critter?
@Cool G5: The bridge is framed very well, but the barbed wire is a little distracting. Which garden is this anyway?
I liked the trick with the unsharp mask. What do you people use to blend it in though? Overlay? And yeah, the original pics are waaay out of focus in comparison. Donno what is wrong with my cam. Cannot achieve better results with manual focussing because the viewfinder is too small to really focus well. Works well enough for macros, but otherwise the photos turn out to be even more blurrier. Ah well. Here are the originals. I think I will just stick to uploading originals till I do a little more R&D into pp. But I liked the bridge becoming pink!
