It is that kind of advice that helps me improve my shots more than just hearing "cool pics bro" I would rather someone honestly tell me exactly WHY the shots could improve in their opinion, that way I can remember to actually try that next time. It doesn;t cost me anything to try again except time. Could you explain the rule of thirds a little more to me? I don;t really understand.

basically its the way you compose/frame the shot. having you point of interest in the dead middle of the frame is very boring. read around on that whole site, they have alot of great info that helped me out when i first got my camera.
