An attempt at selective de-saturation. Starting with a color shot I desaturated the entire image first and then added a layer mask. I then used the paint tool with white to paint back in only the portion of the cat which extended past the curtain's edge. I lightened the eye and saturated the colors. Hope you like it.

I used gimp to bring out the light in the center portion of the flower. Early morning light gave this flower good light yet maintaining the detail in the flower'. In about another half an hour, all the dew drops would be gone.

You only need look in your own backyard for inspiration. That magic light was shining so wonderfully on our heads of wheat. I underexposed to really bring out the sky details. I also adjusted the curves and saturation. This was one of the better images captured tonight.
