1/4s f/8.0 at 24.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks, Techo! That is really helpful and I will definitely try your instructions when I get home. But that won't be until Thursday and I don't have a computer with which I can do that kind of thing where I am. Thanks so much for your help! ~Sharon

Another really splendid photo. (*)The blue background can be darkened evenly in just a few simple steps in Photoshop using the Selective Color dialog. For both the Cyan and Blues in the top picklist , drag the bottom most Black slider to the right, click OK. Repeat until the background is dark enough to use Levels to finish the job. -Techo

Thanks, Michael, Michael and Lee! I agree about the background but have run out of time to fix it! ~Sharon

Another nice one, Sharon. I'd be curious to know more about the set up as to how you accomplished this primarily in camera, I'm amazed. (*) As a matter of personal taste, I find the slight draping of the background fabric to be a distraction of reality. -Michael
