@juletee I shot this into the late day sun, processed in Picasa using focal zoom, cropped, bordered, and that's about it... I am a novice, so simple is all I can do... hope this answers your question!
@juletee You are welcome... I am sure other programs offer focal zoom as well... one negative thing about picasa is that it grabs every photo on your computer... I hope to learn another program (Lightroom) in the near future!
@calm I am not sure that I would want all my pictures grabbed . . . not that they are great but don't always want to share some of them - especially if people are involved. Thanks for the info again - I do like the focal zoom feature . . .
