thanks folks the magazine wanted the contrast way up and vibrant colors . its the prospectus magazine being published for the chamber of commerce in Idaho falls ID by cicerone. I have like only 3 weeks more and i have been taking over 10,000 pictures of the entire area every angle and everything its really alot of work. they want to see the entire back ground they dont want me to focus on the subject in the bronze statue they want to see more of the display. I agree about the lighting I wish I had some better polarizing equipment and a bigger lense im still to poor to afford some of the stuff i need to take pictgures the way i want. I will try early morning afternoon and evening on a subject with no editing and see what effect it has thanks for the tip. I am using adobe elements 4.0 for editing the photo's. i also have the unedited versions of the pics too that are in raw format 6mb each
