My new addiction has the merit of not being bad for one's physical health. I'm really enjoying playing around with the camera. And I've found a few wonderful photo challenges hosted by people with lots of experience and talent. I'm hoping by submitting some of my photos, I'll receive some constructive criticism. And looking at the shots others have taken is a great way to see with a new eye.
On Friday, there are a couple of photo challenges I enjoy, and I'm sharing some of this week's shots there. Please stop by Fabulous Friday and Foto Friday to see some grand photographs!
One question for experienced photographers: all these pictures seem darker once they're published online. Should I be using Photoshop to "overexpose" them before I post them? Do you have any suggestions?
Here are mine:

| Back to the butterfly house again. These butterflies were enjoying a fruity meal. |
I did a wee bit of editing on this picture of a weathered tobacco barn, and I'm submitting it to Before and After this week.

| Dreary sky, but converting this picture from color to black & white seemed to make the whole thing more interesting. |

| This cow-ish critter has such sorrowful, soulful eyes! |
