I think the second can be a real jewel. But I think you have over brightened the picture. Perhaps you should have under exposed it and brighned it digitally. Also it looks a little blurry. The Pine cone, uh, I think you were a tad too close for that one. Not sure never tried to take a picture of a pine cone before. I'll have to try that out. And finally I think you over jepeged the dirt. Too. Sorry. Do you still have the picture? Play around with it it's definitely got a texture feel to it. I'm sure with the correct layer below it you can do some really neat stuff. Bsteph
