A couple of shots taken recently that had some really distracting clutter in the background and no matter how the image was cropped it was still there
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
After a bit of tweaking I decided that an artificial background was really my only option (due to limited PhotoShop knowledge) might be fun to create
The Wood White image background was largely black to start with so I set to work and removed the clutter and ended up with #1. The Painted Lady #2 really took some fiddling. I have ended up liking some aspects of the images but also with plenty of reservations about them. I'm curious to know others opinions about these images, any comments good or bad welcomed.
