Really the time it would take to get rid of the background and make lighting adjustments, you may want to reshoot, using the lens wide open, with a plain background!.

If the future, if you forget about "fixing" shots using a program like Photoshop, and doing all the work using the camera, you will find yourself spending a lot more time behind the camera creating amazing photos and very little in front of your computer trying to "fix" mistakes made in the composition, lighting and other aspects of the shot!.

One way is to take a good class in photography!. This will give you all the skills you need to become a good shooter and save you a lot of frustration and grief attempting to use your fine camera with no expert help!.

Your idea is a good one!. You just have to refine your photographic skills!.

For ideas, look on some of the networking sites used by models and photographers like One Model Place and Model Mayhem!. Take a good look at the lighting used as well as the backgrounds!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just use the auto filters if you aren't familiar with the program!. But your photo looks really nice already, I'm not sure it needs much tweaking!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
