This looks a lot better to me. It really pops now and doesn't look harsh at all on my monitor. It may be a bit grainy but that doesn't bother me. ~Sharon

Thanks CJ. I use Photoshop C3...perhaps not very well. Here's the latest attempt. It seems a little harsh to me but I know my monitor is not right. ~dtallakson

What editing program do you use DT? I have PS Elements and there is a "levels" adjustment with 3 sliders that can you can use to adjust change the black point, white point, and mid tones. I tried it on this and it worked well to bring out the colors etc without ruining the picy on the lcd screen. CJ

Thanks Sharon and CJ. Before I uploaded the picture I tried to punch up the contrast a big but I lost the details on the back of the camera. So, I made a compromise...a little less contrast than I would have liked to maintain the details of the camera buttons. ~dtallakson

I like the composition and subjects here but I agree with Sharon that it could use a bit of PP to bring out the image. So that's what "live view" looks like! :-) CJ

Great concept, nicely shot! This seems a little flat on my monitor, maybe a touch of contrast? ~Sharon

Rod...ain't that the truth! I need a 50D so that I can be a good photographer! ;^) ~d.tallakson

This is off topic mate cos the 50D is out now making your 40D really old & obsolete:-)

I'm so slow. For fully a minute, I kept saying to myself, the EXIF says "10D" but that couldn't be a 10D. I feel like Curly.. slap slap. -tv
