I'm glad you commented - I can't seem to post a comment until someone else has :-)

I have posted two images so far. One I'm pretty happy with, and this one, which I feel needs help: please expand on your comments in regards to this image. It was shot with a LensBaby, hence the blur, and in the desert north-east of LA, hence the brightness. However, I massively punched up the brightness to make it very washed out. What might you propose? I'm no that happy with the image yet, either... I did shoot the same image with a regular lens, meaning I have one without the blur.
