Photo Friday 2 March! Um, tell me what the theme is and post some photos? Okay, how about you post some photos and we'll guess what your theme is? Or feel free to use one of these themes?
Two very cool pictures arse. I love the transparent monitor meme.

This was taken by my kid brother while we were in Florida. I keep meaning to level it, but...I don't. This, then, is that rare spot in the Gulf of Mexico, where the water flows uphill.
Mine is a little more subtle as an altered photo. I'm not so good at some of the great things folks here do. This one is some metal ladder rungs on playground equipment. I took all the color out but the red paint on the ladder rungs. (I see arse_hat has beat me to it, nice one!)
This next image was taken the same day. As you can tell I like to play with depth of field. The next image looks like it was altered in photoshop, but it's not. It's only had the slight adjustments I do to all my photos. Sharpness, cropping etc. Everything else is lucky. I like how painterly the blurred parts look.
This one is pretty severely altered, using Illustrator and a photojojo tutorial from here. ≡ Click to see image ≡
When I do shop things I tend to go all out - the original is in the center bottom: ≡ Click to see image ≡
And, uh, these are my teeth. Completely unshopped. In case anyone wants to look at a weird graphic xray of my teeth from yesterday. Not inlined so you don't have to look if you don't want to. But, well, kind of cool in that tooth xray kind of way.
Yah, I commented on that one on flickr when you posted it BP. That's a cool shot. Lots of cool things going on, plus getting rid of the sign was a good thing.
