I shot these a couple of days ago in the yard. I played with the first image in Lightroom5. Just getting the hang of the program. I am trying to figure out how to move my whole iPhoto Library over...I guess I'll ask in the photo discussion thread.
I can see now that they are downloaded that I'd like to up the contrast and saturation on #1, as well as lighten #3.

Love the first one. The tight crop, position and monochromatic tone really makes this a stand-out.
