This is for challenge #2 - we were supposed to concentrate on getting close-ups of three subjects: nature, water and patriotic. As a bonus, we were to try to get photos of fireworks or sparklers. To see my fireworks, scroll down past the last post of the ground squirrel. I did not end up doing the patriotic subject - just could not think of anything I liked. Ah well. I had fun with these in CS3. The corn in this one was selected and left yellow and the rest of the photo was turned into a black/white. I really like the effect of this one.
This is a Lilly in my flower garden. I kinda did the same thing with this one. I selected the bug, left him green (that is his normal color, believe it or not) and the rest of the photo was made into sepia (and desaturated a bit). The original photo really didn't do anything for me as the Lilly was not that pretty (faded by the sun).
I had a blast setting up my water shots. I used poster board as my background, put my camera on the tripod and a flash. This is actually a serving spoon. Ya gotta hold your tongue just right (and take over 100 shots!!). Obviously, it's been Photoshopped to death! LOL
My second water shot. I put a glass of ice in the freezer - got my gear set up (black poster board this time) and by the time I was ready, the glass frosted over -it gave it a really cool effect (ha ha).

Marsha,
Well, I am definitely going to have to invest in some photo editing software. I absolutely LOVE the squirrel shot!! The spoon was really cool too. Is that your reflection I can barely see? And the frosted glass of ice very "cool" shot! (Hee hee, pun intended!)
Blessings,
Deb
