The human face is a bit washed out here because when I turn the brightness down I lose detail on the dog.

I look forward to eventually learning how to use GIMP (I haven't bought photoshop yet) so I can fix problems like this. (blending 2 copies of an image using a transparency mask -- I know the general principle but the details of how to generate the desired mask are not clear)

All processing was done with DPP

Z's is one of our regular breakfast stops. If you drop in for a bite I highly recommend the 'Junior Mess' or, for the truly famished, 'Mike's Mess'.

Who are the people in the picture? I don't know...

I've had my 350D for less than a week. I still barely know how to use the thing (beyond treating it as an overpriced point and shoot).

I shot this in RAW mode, cropped it and converted to JPEG (no manipulation in DPP).
