[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 266970, member: 3903"] Yes, your camera is quite capable of producing stunning images like the one you posted. But I think the answer you're looking for is in the second part of your affirmation. The other photographer DID take the time to place and select his background, he/she did select a longer lens with a larger aperture. These are the elements you should be working on. The post processing is just icing on the cake. Just the crop that Don did helped your shot quite a bit. Why didn't you crop off the red dress? It seems to me that what you need is just a little more experience. We see so many people coming to this forum, buying the best camera they can afford but lacking the basic photography knowledge about composition, lighting and exposure. I hope I don't sound too discouraging because this is certainly not my intent. I'd just wish that you start with the basics before going out to grab every lenses you think you should have to create nice images. Keep looking at other's images, see why some are more pleasing than others, learn to experiment with light, see how it can be different from one day to the next, take pictures, lots and lots of them because what you are looking for can only be acquired by YOUR OWN experience. The magic camera, lens or post processing program won't do that for you. Keep shooting. [/QUOTE]
