[QUOTE="hark, post: 292557, member: 13196"] Thanks, Horoscope Fish! :) Those two corners that need to be cleaned up are the edges of the elevated platform on which they were standing. I might use the healing brush to hide them. As for the backgrounds, that is part of their set. Quite often I am shooting with a somewhat shallow depth of field with wider apertures, but because I am @65' away, I can't do much more to control the effect. In post I can blur the backgrounds, but with 400+ photos, I'll be selective on how many I do that way. I rented a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VRii--what a dream lens! ;) It beats my Sigma hands down!
