I had planned on getting out this weekend and do some testing and playing around with my new 17-85mm lens. However, as luck would have it, I pulled a muscle in my back and was pretty much house bound. Ended up sitting on the front porch this afternoon, and brought my camera outside with me. The photo below is of some turtles that my wife has sitting on the front porch beside a flower pot. Like the image because of the different textures in the porch, bricks, flower pot and flowers and the turtles. I used Photomatix for the HDR (still hit and miss until I get something I like) and Photoshop Elements 4 to do some sharpening.
C&C always welcome...
