Hi John,

I appreciate the tips on different types of film, that is one area I know 
nothing about and just use what ever they have at the local stores, which as 
you suggested I'll probably continue to do until I get better.

I get what your saying about the subject being dead center, but could you 
give an example of one "visually splitting the photo", to help me better 
understand?

> Landscapes:

I did some of the cropping you suggested and I agree, much better (not that 
you didn't already know that).

I agree, there's a lot wrong with this one, but it was in a remote area I 
wasn't sure I'd ever get back to, so I had to make do with the time of day I 
was there. I also agree that I need to do a lot of work on composition. It's 
gonna be touugh training myself to get out of snapshot mode, but well worth 
the effort I'm sure!

> Huntin and Fishin:

I should have mentioned in my first post to ignore these, they weren't taken 
by me.

Thank you for the input and the link to your tutorial, it looks very 
helpful!

Darin
