Default On a lighter Note.

I installed some new software, Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2; I'm trying to learn how to use it, Here is a Black and White creation, I hope you like it.

And I would be me if I didn't add a Bug!!! I call it a stick hopper, but I have never seen anything like it before.

I wouldn't have thought I would like the black and white, but I must say number 1 is really very nice...don't recognize that bug either.

I know you will enjoy all the new software, takes a little bit to get up to speed. Lots of reading and lots of practice. Good start on these, that bug is something even I might hesitate getting close to it.

Nice shots! When you get that software down pat, can I send all my mistakes to you so you can fix them?
