I had this picture of a green basilisk for years and never liked it. It was taken with film in the 90's, and the boring and unattractive background made the photo unappealing and unsalable. Last week after I conducted the frog/reptile workshop, I came upon this picture again and decided to add an out of focus green foliage background from my files, and that gave new life to this image. I have about 20 different foliage backgrounds I use for this kind of purpose, and it makes an amazing impact on pictures that otherwise would be mundane at best.
If your Photoshop skills are not up to par, you should consider taking the time and expending the energy to learn how to use the program. You don't have to learn all of it. I teach Photoshop in my on-line courses, in my home workshops, and in the books I write, and I certainly don't know the entire program. It's just too big and there are many ways of doing the same things. I've learned how to do everything I need, though, to make my images look as good as they can possibly be. That's what I suggest for you.
My next home workshop in Photoshop is the weekend of April 24, 25. It is conducted in a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee. If you would like to take an on-line course in Photoshop, check out the outline to this course. It began today, but it's not too late to sign up: http://www.betterphoto.com/courseOverview.asp?cspID=75

Wow - that does make a big difference! I love how the rock really pops with the new background.
