Pauly, if you were ready to drop 1000 dollars on a camera, I would highly recommend getting the digital rebel (or the nikon d70) instead of the pro 1. For the same price you will get an SLR with the 18-55 mm lens. The lens is probably not as good as the one on the pro 1, but for the cost it is a great deal. Though the digital rebel has fewer megapixels, I would be willing to bet it had better image quality. It uses the same exact sensor that is in the EOS 10D, which is a great camera. The other advantage is that you can add lenses to your system -- the quality of which is dependent on what you want to pay and what you choose. If you choose a fixed focal length 35mm or 50 mm lens, I would expect that it would outperform the pro 1 easily, and the lenses will be faster too. This makes the digital rebel MUCH more versatile than the pro 1. You could stick any one of nearly 100 lenses on the camera. Beyond that, the next time you want a new camera, you will not have to buy new lenses, just a better body. This is more economical in the long run. The filters are usually easier to come by and so on and so forth.
As for photoshop, it is only really a good deal if you are a student (they give it to you for something like 400 dollars off). As a regular buyer it is about 600 bucks with tax -- unless you are doing some major work, you are better off with Photoshop elements, which is a great program. If you want, I will send it to you, as when I got a mac I bought photoshop 7.0, so I have a copy of elements that I don't need.
For your picture, I noticed the shovel, but it did not distract me that much. Why don't you just photoshop it out??
