Never mind the scanner. I can imagine what the prints must look like!
The first is a flower photo. Sorry to be so bland to say that it is pretty but unexciting.
The "weird" one, however, does have its merits. Maybe I would have wished for the depth of field to be a little larger, but all in all I like your choice of motif, angle, and I like how the texture of the wall and the pole come out in this one.
Be adventurous, try out more "weird" photos (says I who I am soooo conservative as to photographing things, or so I feel............ :blushing: )
