John, I like to believe that I could get the results that I want, but I don't know if that's really correct. So I keep trying, study a bit, read, look at other pics, etc. I've not been shooting digital as much as others here, and many of my subjects, and the results I want when photographing them, are often quite different than what is posted here. I could probably grab a film camera and take it along with the digi, shoot similar scenes, and see how the results compare. OTOH, I really want to get better results with the DSLR, and if I keep falling back on film it may be self defeating. So, for a while at least, I'll struggle along, maybe see about getting a mentor, and see what's possible. Bruce suggested trying other editing software just because different software may allow for different results. Once I get settled here in the new place I may do just that. But right now I'm still a novice, just learning and struggling. I don't think I've seen anything here that reflects the results I want, although I have read comments suggesting that such results are either not possible or damned difficult to obtain.
