If you are on Flickr you can add black backgrounds using a seperate website. If you search under Flickr DNA on Google it gives you lots of additional effects you can use on any pictures that you have uploaded onto Flickr.

i like this one, the selective colour is done well, but i'd have cleared the windowsill of bottles etc, coz i'm finding those drawing my eye away a little. Also, a shift off-centre (probably down) might have been effective. or cropped to a square image, less negative space at the bottom and leave the bottles in.... so many possibilities!

Thanks, that's true! I've used a layer mask to show the original green enamelling on the keyring:

I wanted to keep the bottles etc in the background, but I agree with shifting off-centre, there is quite a lot of tile space...

In regards to being distracted by the background, how would you suggest to do it so that they are still there, but not so imposing/distracting?

 

[BlackBerry25]

Neecee I think you have a natural talent for photography! Love the beach one!

 

[tiggertea]

Now I'm gonna contradict myself and say maybe by shifting the focus up a bit... i.e. have the flower closer to the bottom and include a tad MORE bottle.....
or
crop to a square image with the flower close to baseline.

(Just my ideas, the image is great as is)

 

[Reedy]

Neecee I agree with Wendino you definitly have a natural talent

And your little boy's eyes are so big & beautiful, such a gorgeous photo x
