Good evening. I looked over your photos and if i may offer up a suggestion. I shoot with a Digital Rebel XT also. I'm about to upgrade to the XTi.

I did a little simple post-processing to your swan shot in a photo program. I hope that I haven't offended you by doing that. It brought some things out more and defined them. You may or may not like it.

I've only recently began using the programs more myself and finding that I can turn some photos that I thought were good into photos that others think are great. I am just beginning to shoot in the RAW mode and it's opening up a whole other world.

Nice shots BTW!

Excellent! I am getting ready to purchase the XTi. I'm told that it's tough to tell the difference for the most part between the 8 and the 10 megapixels, but it has some features on it that I like.

I used to do most of my cropping, sizing, and adjustments in a simple little free program called "Slowview". It's a very simple program. I recently started using the PhotoStudio 5.5 that came with my Digital Rebel XT for the adjustments. I tend to lean towards the little "magic wand" in there because it does a better job than I can do being I am quite color-blind.

I really enjoy looking at the images that other people have captured and shared! Photos seem to give a clue to an individual's take on the world and it reinforces the notion that we're all unique.
