  Finding a complementary background and getting the right kind of lighting helps.
Then after playing with the Tone Correction, Brightness, and Contrast Features
in the software which comes with the camera, I load the image into Windows Paint,
and reduce the size of the image(how much varies).  Usually it is somewhere between
20% and 40% of the original size.  Lastly I crop the edges of the image so that I am
left with an image that is no more than 640 x 480 pixels.  Usually the image is smaller.
This one is 360 x 240.

Yeah, okay, looks like I'm not going to post any pics.  :-\  But thanks for the input.

  You could probably get by with finding the right background and lighting.  You have
to remember, I am ultra picky!
