Purple Flowers

I recently downloaded Picasa 3 to play around with editing pictures. Previously all of my pictures were either virgins and untouched or edited only using Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

But in recent days, friends suggested that I start watermarking my pictures. Today's post is just me fiddling around in the garden and on the computer. Any advice about the pictures are welcomed.

Please bare in mind I do not claim to be a photographer, just a noob with a camera taking pretty pictures, in this case, pictures of pretty purple flowers. So there may be terms that are incorrect.

Simple picture with added gauzy effect.

Ground zero.

This was very bright due to the sun. I believe the term is over exposed? So soften up the look by warming it up a little. Sorry about the focus.

The following 2 pictures were taken in the car. Yes, I plucked the flowers. Naughty Glow.

Something a little more artsy.

Added more shadow.

Added shadow, and soft focus effects. Yes I focused on the smallest flower on the top.

If I did something right or wrong please be patient and explain to this novice here. Thank you for stopping by.

All pictures are taken with my humble Sony Ericsson c903, Cyber Shot series. Yes I realize it's just a mobile-phone with a camera. Ain't technology dandy.
