Hi all,

I am new to dslr,
Just wonderful what in general does a photo like this need to edit to look like this.
For example, if you know, how did the following photo happened?
what did the person do to adjust it in the post proecess stagse.

thanks again

that looks a good photo. What's been done to it depends on what needed doing....
Obviously with such lack of depth of field displayed the photo was probably taken with low f-number.

Alternatively a blur tool may have been used to (PS CS4 blur tool with mask one option) with a sharpener NIK Sharpener) tool for the bench in foreground.

Personally I think that most photographers know what they are looking for when they take the photo and wouldn't be post processing to the extent of the above. In this case they've possibly just:

1. Levelled the photo
2. Shadow / Hightlighted
3 Finally applied a custom filter (Check out Nik's offerings again)

Hope this helps.
