Taking a Break...

I've just discovered how to play with iPhoto to enhance images!  Yes, it took me a while, but give me a break, I'm relatively new to this whole Mac thing.  So I took some basic photos, and played around with them.  Any and all feedback is welcome, from staging (help!) to style, to anything.  And before we begin, I'm much into sepia tones!

The original picture is a few posts down, under Grow.  I like the black&white with this one, with the edges ever so slightly blurred to give it a more timeless look.  

This one isn't a great shot, but i enjoyed the light play.  It's not terribly visible in such a small frame.  Sepia toned.  My son's crib, partially together :)

Thank you notes for my baby shower (which really need to be written and sent).  Top is the original, which I like well enough.  Bottom is antiqued a bit with the blurred edges, again giving it a slightly ethereal quality.  Considering my very, very beginner skills, I'm pleased with this one.

This one is slightly antiqued.  Again, I'm practicing not photographing everything head-on.  

And last one for today, black&white, once more simply working on staging.  Not great, but I'm getting better, and better still, recognizing and acknowledging my own improvements.  The creative boot camp has helped me take a step forward in not giving up after the first two or three failures.  What skills are you working to improve upon?
