Butterflies ~ Part 2

Thanks for the CC Cindy. Here's how I tried to correct it. I ran a noiseware to try and remove debris and cleaned up the rest by cloning and also got rid of the dead butterfly.
Before...
...and After














I don't know...I find it took away a lot of the detail and made it a little too soft. Any other suggestions of what I could have done to avoid losing the detail in the butterflies and the oranges?

Here's the edit with nothing but the dead butterfly removed.










Ugh! That doesn't look so great either. Sigh! Wish my computer was compatible for the Photoshop Elements 5.0 I bought off of ebay. Oh well, until then, at least I can know what to work on in the meantime, eh?

Butterflies

Just looking through some pictures I took last summer at a butterfly sanctuary and was hoping I might get some feedback on them.

















(The pictures in this post were taken with my 2.0MP Fujifilm FinePix A205)

Just Foolin' Around...

Our baby is about to turn "Fwee" years old. All I can do is just shake my head in disbelief. Where has the time gone? Sigh... Here is just something I'm toying with. Please excuse the mess and the lighting wasn't that great. Not exactly portfolio worthy for sure and not exactly professional, but fun to play around. She is very much into Ballerinas(she says "ballerlinas") and dancing like one. She even shuts her eyes when she's twirling, like she's right into it. What a ham of a daughter we have.
(These are the before and after)

















Here is a little montage I did for our family and friends. Enjoy!! Before viewing, you'll need to mute my website music by clicking on the pause symbol on the blue music icon on the bottom left of this website.

Our Little Visitor...

Look and see what I discovered crawling up my back door. Our daughter was delighted and mesmerized to say the least.
