10 "best" shots in my backyard

a. I think this is a newly-sprouting clover flower. Slightly post-processed. b. A feather was in my radius! Hooray! (That's me cheering, not the bird...)

c. Another shot of the feather, showing the texture better.
d. This is not as gross as it might seem - it's a piece of a nest that blew into my circle, not a dead animal.
e. My first macro of a clover flower in full bloom.
f. Another flower, I applied gaussian blur to the complete background, and unsharp mask to the yellow areas.
g. This is a bush on one edge of my circle - sloooow shutter speed, rotational motion, gave an outcome that appealed to me. h. The corner of the porch was the other edge of my circle. This was posterized and watercolored for post processing.
i. I used the Hue/Saturation/Lightness command to tweak the six colors under a desaturated regime to give a documentary shot of the deteriorated carpet on the corner.
j. This would be the foundation of the porch. Not that I'd usually take a picture of it, but you should see how uninteresting the rest of the photos are...
Enjoy!
