I'm afraid I can't see the problem here at this size mandy... care to expalain further?

well it doesn't show up here for me either. When I open the full size version up on my computer there is a large black grainy area that just won't go away. It looks terrible. I hate the siding in the background of this picture too.

Not knowing what you need from the shot, my first impression would be the simplest approach, crop it out. The shot works well 3:4 horizontal cropped around the couples heads. More intimate that way too.

I tried the blur and it didn't work either. I will just crop it out I guess. I was going to delete the picture from my camera because of the siding. There are other pictures just as intimate, but the couple saw it in my camera and wanted it.

I'm not surprised they want it Mandy, the body language between them is beautiful! Could you blur/fade out the lines on the siding and crop the image so there was less of the black at the bottom.

I have been working on a few more. Man I need a studio!! It sucks only being able to take pictures outside. No matter what angle I tried to position myself the background was horrible. Here are a few more...any comments?

I'd be happy with some lights at this point. Maybe Santa will bring me some.

The other three look good, but I think the background is quite distracting in this one;

I was worried about that. I didn't want it to be just a flat boring color, but I didn't really know what to do either.

What if you put just a bit of drop shadow around them on that background ... just enough to make them pop off! I like the background but there is not enough between them and it to make them stand out.

that is a good idea!! Thanks
