Also, I have no idea what the settings were, but I discovered after the shoot that the camera was set on a low quality pixel count mode, unfortunately.

whoty Goldmember  More info | Oct 04, 2011 20:57 | #4 No offense,but the shot itself has everything wrong with it. Why didn't you use your rebel for this shot? The shot is underexposed,horizon not level,arm chopped off,the pose seems awkward,and the focus is off. With such a lovely model/wife,you've got to make her shine. Your rebel could have captured this shot a whole lot better. Turn image editing on and I can see what I can do. There is nothing worse than a brilliant image of a fuzzy concept. - Ansel Adams

Thanks for the feedback, and I turned image editing on. Have at it. I did not own the Rebel at the time, but I quickly figured out we both enjoyed doing shoots and that I needed a better camera. Bought the Rebel not long after...I really do want to make her "shine" and am learning from this forum.

I started to correct it but when I saw that the green histogram barely reached 50% I decided it was a waste of time. Richard

These look much better. I need to learn much, obviously, including what a histogram is and how to read it. I also have nothing to edit pics with except for what photobucket offers.
