Backyard in Bumpass

I got home a little late yesterday, and thought it was really pretty out, so i grabbed my camera, and drove out to my backyard (yes i have to DRIVE to parts of my backyard ) and snapped some quick shots.

I have photoshop, and tried to tinker, but didn't save anything. So what should i do to them? I want to go out and take a ton more, but when i'm actually out there, i don't know which angles are the best, how to situate the back ground, play around with the fun buttons on my camera.. blah blah. Advice, anyone? I'm just using the little credit card sized Casio Exilim... and i shot these the smallest size because my camera was already flooded with pictures. I'll do better next time :smile:

Shots in backyard...

If it were my backyard... I'd do some shots with the car driving thorugh that that slight bend in the dirt road. At speed with a bit of handbrake induced oversteer and a touch of opposite lock. (Course this could be a recipe for picking grass outta your grill) Then Photoshop to add a wee bit of backround blur and a bit of radial blur to the tires... And it would be awesome to do it early / late and get that sort of color in the light.
