here's mine. but you've already seen 'em.
thanks jazzy the sharp foreground/blurred background (called "bokeh") is achieved by setting the aperture. on your cam, put it in aperture priority mode on the dial (usually Av) and set it to the lowest f/stop value (on your camera i believe it's between 2.8 and 3.7, depending on your focal length). that will give you a shallow depth of field and the crisp foreground/blurry background that's so sexy
