Have been compositing in Photoshop CC, yes, decided it is worth it for $20 a month.

Also taking a class online here which has been sooo helpful. Plenty of tuts on youtube as well. Hours of fun for the digital artist.

Dragonfly on a (Barbed) Wire

On the way to Davis to pick up my (college student) son, I stopped at a rest stop I had never stopped at b4. There were a lot of dragonflies and it was breezy; a bunch were hanging onto the barbed wire fence. Only had the 17-55 so I couldn't get very close; this is cropped in. It looks so fragile as it delicately holds onto the barb.
