iso 3200 F/7.1 ? you must be on auto mode?
congratulations on the new camera!
i had the T1i for a few days to play with and did not like it one bit. either i had a bad one or it is prone to over expose extremely heavily.
plus my sigma EX DG ST ETT_II flash did not work with it. (requires a firmware update)

here is my nightly addition
a little photoshop trickery adding a new layer, select the center statue on the new layer, then click inverse selection so the rest of the picture is selected, then add gausian blur to that selection and make opacity 60%, then select the center statue again and then hit delete so that the statue form the 2nd layer is gone and only the original sharp non blurred one is there.
