No. Have you? Feel free to post an example here. I'm OK with it.

Been using this free program for a couple years. There has to be some level of contrast between the subject wanting to be isolated and the background. Here is a photo that had a background of green leaves with one a similar intensity as the pedals. Certainly easy to remove that one leaf instead of going around the whole border of the flower. Nice to be able to choose the background color too.

Something like this? I added a bit to the right side...

My vote goes for this nice image, different reason than Linda's though. Having raised horses for years the new pen reminds me of continual hard work around the place.

...be skeptical, but...

I've experienced haphazard delivery times from Amazon lately.
Just this morning an e-mail appeared saying they had refunded my money on two items accompanied with a list of reasons why they hadn't been delivered with the two other items in the order.
Just getting that list makes me skeptical:

"Item is too big for a P.O. Box. Some items are too big to ship to a P.O. Box and must be shipped to a street address. Incorrect Address/Missing Information. The package is typically returned to us by the carrier or the unintended recipient if the address is incorrect, has typos, is missing information (such as an apartment number or ZIP code), or is outdated (such as a previous residence).Address Format. If a post office box address was entered in a format our system does not recognize, the package may be shipped through a carrier that cannot deliver to a post office box. To ensure that such packages are routed through the proper carriers, please enter the box number as "PO BOX" followed by the number. Also, if you're a private mailbox holder (use a local commercial mail receiving agency), do not use "Box" for your mailbox number, instead use # or PMB. This will ensure that your address is not mistaken to be a P.O. Box, and that orders can ship to you via means other than the U.S. Postal Service. Secure Location. Your package may be returned to us if there is no safe place to leave the package at the point of delivery, where the package is safe from weather and is not visible to passersby.Unable to Access.Your package may be returned to us if the carrier can't access the delivery location due to no access code, call box number, or buzzer information, and can't obtain the information after multiple attempts. Other Address Problems. If the order is being shipped to a prison, there may be delivery restrictions associated with the items or shippers. These restrictions are determined by the penitentiary and may vary. For more information about shipping to prisons, go to About Shipping to Prisons. Many items can be shipped to Department of State addresses, however, some cannot and will be returned as a result. For a full list of shipping restrictions at a specific DOS address, please contact the DOS facilities staff at that location. Failed Delivery Attempts. Most of our carriers make three attempts to deliver a package. Packages that contain more than $1300 of merchandise will always require a signature; otherwise, it is generally up to the driver's discretion to determine whether a signature is required. After three attempts, the package will be returned to us. Damaged During Transit. If a package is damaged on its way to you, the shipper may return it to us without attempting delivery. Other Transportation Problems. Packages can be sorted to the wrong carrier or labels can be damaged such that the carrier is unable to determine the correct delivery address.Refused by Recipient. If a recipient is not expecting a package, they may refuse it if they believe it was sent to them in error."

Is yours a generation I, II or III? It seems to make quite a bit of difference in prices.

I can't say which for sure except I remember the 1.4 TC bought at the same time last summer is a III. Bought the 400mm right before the lighter weight version was starting to be shipped at several thousand bucks higher in cost.

During this pandemic who wants to use a public restroom anyway.
Saw a note the other day in a travel guide saying a solution to the restroom dilemma sometimes encountered while on the road is to take a portable camping toilet along.

Testing the waters to see if there is a market to sell my Canon Telephoto EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM Lens. Moved out of my high-rise apartment and do not use it at ground level. Looking at prices over the internet and see a reasonable price for both buyer and seller should be $6K. Message me if interested. Thank you, Tommy2

..."I'm gonna fix that someday"...

Since this thread came back up I hope it's ok to post one of my tractor pictures. It was half buried in a farmer's garden. He'd been planting around it for years and years since it last run. So I did just what you wrote, "I'm gonna fix that someday". The photo was taken almost thirty yeas ago. (1935 John Deere Model "B".)

All feeders attract unwanted guests. Had a large herd bull that sought out deer feeders. He'd get under them and flip them over causing hundreds of pounds of corn to be where he could consume it.

Very nice variety in your garden, thank you. There are doves and more doves around here. Often thought instead of being bored by the lack of variety I ought to take a hint from Vincent Van Gogh - he studied haystacks. Painted the same one over and over though out the seasons.

Very nice series, especially like the last one!
Thought why the last one appeals to me - brings back memories of aircraft delivering explosives to their targets back in the sixties.

Almost the opposite here. We hooked up our RV and went out to an almost deserted campground with two months worth of supplies. Five weeks into our adventure I'm sleeping better than ever. Going to bed after the ten o'clock news and waking around six fully rested when the birds start singing.
Maybe the worst is yet to come?
