Thanx MB1 and ChowChi...I see what you mean and will attempt to adjust the contrast. I'm still pretty weak with PS but will give it the old college try. As for getting lower...hehe...it may be easier to fix the contrast thatn to get this old fat body on the ground, much less back up again...hahahaha...but I will try...I was using my tripod, which is pretty tall even at it's shortest. I am hoping to get a smaller one soon. I really appreciate the comments...I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to comment.
