FWIW, I use a Canon 20D and a wide selection of lenses. I shoot all my pics in RAW format and use Photoshop CS2 to convert to jpeg or tif and editing. Its a rather spendy program but makes editing a lot easier. Focus can also enhance some photos. For instance, the first photo the focus is on the bigger buck in the forground, leaving the little buck in the background as an afterthought. The second pic is just the opposite. Although both pics are relativley the same, you get two different stories simply by changing the focus. Most of the pics in "Post Montana" were taken with a Canon 400mm/4FIS or a 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L EF IS. Going with an SLR gives you much more options however may not be cost effective for most.
