Default Happy Canada Day!!!

Played some in Photoshop with one of the photos i shared yesterday. Think its much improved but i can't decide which version is my favorite. let me know what you think guys and gals and which you prefer! thanks, Kimi

First, just for the CANADIANS lol out of my love for our northern neighbors... just did this very quickly
Mapleleaf

This version was the advice of sheldon and i gotta say it was a great suggestion
bandwplant

thought it would look cool this way too so... here's another version
plantw-colorshadow

Very nice. I love the maple leaf. I also prefer the first edit, the dark edges have a nice effect to it.

Thanks, Kimi.

I really like the first version of your "weed" picture. It really gives it a classic feel.
