God made him fuzzy to keep him warm in the winter. Leave his fuzz alone and don't shave him...Bob

I think they're supposed to be that way.

These guys are into wisecracking tonight. Did you carefully press the shutter 1/2 way to set the focus before pressing it the rest of the way? You are correct that it is not as sharp as it should be. Maybe someone else can give you more help. -- http://www.pbase.com/julivalley/galleries21oo , B-3oo3o4oJuli

Add some contrast in whatever image editing program you use. There are a number of ways to do it depending on the program but most have a method of increasing the contrast. You might also increase the brightness slightly at the same time to compensate. It looks like you forgot to use a flash or maybe it didn't go off.

I've found that the brightness and contrast controls in most photo
editors do not make it easy for you to zero in on the best adjustment.
So I prefer to use a photo editor that has a levels adjustment that
displays a histogram. In the Adobe photo editors you have a levels
dialog in which you can easily set black to black and white to white
to eliminate the hazy look. In the same dialog you can also set the
color balance. I looked at the other pictures of ginger in the dogcrazy
gallery to try to get the color right. Here's the result:

The image is seriously underexposed and has been greatly compressed. Has no contrast ... but Photoshop to the rescue. Here it is after some Photoshopping ... Cheers ...
