It also depends on subject movement and available light. I photo our local orchestra using available light. To freeze motion I found that 1/325 sec was a good maximum shutter speed. To show some movement of the subject's hands, for example, 1/100 sec has been good. It leaves the body and face unblurred while the arms and/or hands are blurred by their movement.

What a cute dog! (photo 1) Your photo will be a great remembrance.

Saw this Great Blue Heron at a local pond one heavily overcast morning. The water surface was mirror like reflecting the overcast. Saw this yellow leaf drifting slowly along the bottom of the pond and waited for it to drift into the reflection of the Heron. Photo may not be technically perfect but it is one of my favorite heron pics.
The leaf was worth waiting for. Great shot and PP.

Try selecting just the moon with an elliptical selection tool. Then adjust the selected moon manually until it looks right.

I've used paint.net for many editing chores. It is free. (Of course, it is for Windows.)

I'd crop the waterfall scene to one of the two attached files. Which one to select would depend on my interest: on the building or on the falls. Make sure the focus is sharp on the primary target.

I'd go with handheld. On a recent boat trip at twilight I was able to pan the camera as birds flew past, capturing an acceptable image and permitting identifying of the bird. However, if spending a lot of time shooting a rookery or nesting site, I'd go for the tripod to ease the burden of holding the camera.

Marvelous photo; such a land and sea-scape! It's cropped perfectly. Any changes I examined were for the worse.

I went to Yellowstone in 2010 with a big telephoto lens, but was not happy with the results versus cost. I agree that using a teleconverter might be your best option. For most of my wildlife encounters my normal lens, 35-80mm, was sufficient. Where a telephoto lens is required, you must weigh the time to mount it versus how long the animal will stay in sight. Note that using a tripod would be best for a long-distance shot, but again, there is setup time.

The shot itself is good. You could have "unskewed" the image in PP.
