Love the soft, heritage feel of your two Asta shots. I kind of like the green framing, but on the other hand it somewhat distracts from the gentle image. Perhaps if it were softer?
Your images are inspiring me to get more "artsy". Patty and I were working with the PSP Scrapbooking book but didn't get very far. I'm not a big PSP user (although I've used it since version 3). After version 7 I lost my enthusiasm for the program because it got so different and difficult. Very nice features in PSP. I have to force myself to work with it! (I prefer Photoshop).
