Thank you! Any suggestions on making them better would be appreciated. Just a newbie trying to make better shots.

Thank you for your comment and advice. I'll remember those steps. Thanks .

This is one of a few Geysers in Yellowstone Nations Park. Sorry but forgot the name of this particular geyser.

Thank you so much. I can use any editing advise. I do have a number of products that I am getting use to, which includes, Picasa, and Adobe Elements 9. As I continue to read magazines, view this forum and ask advise, I coming to the opinion that my next purchase will be Adobe Lightroom. Any thoughts from this forum will be greatly appreciated. (Picture was edited and replaced.)

Thank you, and I agree, it does look like it needs to be straight. I use Picasa to upright the left side but not having much success. I just did it and noticed that when I upload this picture it isn't doing what I had just done to make it straight. Perhaps I'm uploading the incorrect picture. I'll look at the pictures now and upload the correct one....I hope.

Thanks Bret! Hope to see your pics as well as others Hedgehogs.

Hi everyone! I've been reading and reviewing the questions Hedgehogers' have had and you guys and gals really provide some great thoughts and answers. As a newbie I'm hoping to learn and may provide my thoughts as well.
I'm from California and I am retired and after a long absense from photography I've decided to get back into it for the love of it. I have a Canon 60D with a Canon 18-135 lens, a Tamron, 70-300 F/4-5.6, and a Tamron AF 60mm F/2 DiII Macro 1:1.
I haven't decided to do one kind of photography yet but so far I've been loving to shoot "Landscapes".
It's great to read your comments and sometimes banter.
I look forward to learning and sharing with you guys and gals.
