    I’m using the Landscape theme and have successfully modified the css to make the background transparent; however as you can see it also made my uploaded photographs transparent.

    I would like to retain the 100% opacity on the images themselves, while retaining the transparent background.

    Can anyone help? Here’s a link:

    This is an example of the look I'm going for (this is not my site; it's simply a visual on what I'm trying to accomplish):

    As you can see, the body background is transparent so that the background image shows through; however the images on the site are not transparent. This is what I'm trying to achieve.

    Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!
