... SAFE at 2nd!!!  Baseball Gamme (and I have trouble with spelling)

This is my first effort at a collage.  It was fun but I need some constructive criticism.  Thanks, sdgt

Kink!

Gifts For My Lover

Here's a couple of brand new still lifes.
This is a festive one for the holidays:

Iron Bunny

I rescued this poor creature from the cats, who were dragging it around their scratching post. I think they were finished with it anyway, as I'm sure they realized it contained no meat.

Promises

Here's a fun photomanipulation/collage I made out of props and backgrounds:

Combination Platter

I REALLY want to know how to do this.  Check out best of photographica july 2002 story.  Several photos are stitched together like a quilt.  Very cool!  I would love to do that to several photos of the same theme but have no idea how to start.  Any ideas?  I use iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop Essentials on a mac.

One of the local wineries had a port tasting yesterday, and they also allowed you to make your own.  It is a very interesting process and getting the right mixture of everything is more important than I realized.  That can be some nasty tasting stuff if the mix ain't right!  I took too many pics to post, so I combined them for you; hope you can get the gist of my day by looking at these.

The day started out like this and this little fella came back for a visit, too.  All in all, it was a great day!

Hope y'all enjoy!

Even though I've been shotting digital and using Photoshop for around 2.5 years, I never really
took full advantage of the power of Photoshop. This is my first attempt at making a collage.
I didn't put *too* much thought into it, I just grabbed some Flowers that I have shot over the years.
I know it's not great, but I thought for my first try it was at least worth posting.

Enjoi...
