Publishers have a look they’re going for. Some stuff is cool in the background. Some stuff isn’t. Apparently, my VANITY taste is not professionally refined. Lemme show you what I would have photoshopped out of our pictures. (The above picture is just an adorable shot of my daughter in a floppy hat. Never photoshop perfection.)
So, here’s what I would have disappear-ed:
My neighbor's BULGING trash can.
The tops of our fish-eye lens created cone heads.
Arm flab, frown lines, etc.
In fairness, they cropped that last one where it was just my hands and cukes. And not that I truly dislike how I look here. But, wouldn’t it be fun to get the official magazine photoshop treatment, even if they just mailed it to me as a present? Squee!
Anyway, here’s the actual photoshop work. See if you can spot the difference.

Did you see it?
Is it the 2 dirt/sand/unknown squares in the background? 🙂 Do I win? ;P LOL
I am saving up for your book, cannot wait to get it. Thanks for all the posts and advice, I am looking forward to applying more of the things you’ve both taught into my life day by day.

Yup. The concrete squares where there should be picnic tables.
LOL. I wouldn’t even notice who’s wearing what and whether your heads are slightly conical. The cukes and squash would have me looking closely, though!
Yay! And is that a park or your backyard? If its the latter I think I may cry…
I love the picture of you taking the goats for a walk! So precious.
Nik, It’s the common area behind my back yard. If you look at the back right corner, that’s my backyard fence.
