[QUOTE="pprivett, post: 266943, member: 21363"] Thank you all for your quick replies and advice. I wanted to contact the photographer, but didn't know if that would be insulting or taken as trying to infringe on her territory! :) I think I just wanted to know whether my camera is capable of taking a picture that looks like that or not. I guess I didn't realize how much post processing photographers do to their photos. I knew at the time that the background was terrible. I would have chosen a much different setting, but time and the amount of people around kept me from doing what I really wanted! So if I shot RAW, what program to you suggest I use to create something similar to hers? Is there any program that is reasonably priced for an amateur to use? Unfortunately, I certainly can't spend $500 on photoshop. I probably did tweak this pic a little in iPhoto. [/QUOTE]
