Thanks ladies! The difficulty is that thinking before shooting Cyn, (yeah, that's me) especially when I try to shoot children, like this. The light WAS on his hair, but if I had asked him to turn around, or if I had changed my position, that expression in his face had gone away. Thanks Sheila, flattered to be called girl...when I am twice your age :-) I have just begun "sniffing" on Painter, there is so much to learn that I reurn "home" to my PSP after a while. I WILL practice!! I am sure it will take time, I shall read in the resource center, and I will keep my little Ixus 400 in my pocket when I need comfort, just click!!!
