never just kidding feel free

thanks

nooooooo that pic is now bad i didn't notice that, but I will pay more attention
thanks for all the great tips I feel dumb, but I need a more details on what a tree line is if you can

OK, so look at the first photo you posted, "Buff" See how the whole background is tilted at a 40 degree angle and the trees shoot off in an odd direction?

Yours:

You want to level your background so it doesn't look like it's tipping off to the right. Your coolpix should have a grid view in the lcd and/or a level line in the viewfinder to help you get your horizon set. In this image because your girl is taking so much of the frame up, to get it level you will end up cropping her out.

Like this. See how the trees point up to the sky now and the ground is flat and not tipping down and right?

As someone who has seen literally millions of photographs (I used to work in a photo lab), I can tell you @azurbanclucker has some spot on advice!

I'd like to add two more points.

1. FOCUS. The subject needs to be sharp. Not necessarily the entire thing, but the part that your eye goes to first. With faces, that is usually the subject's eyes.

I can recall only ONE photograph that was excellent, even though the focus wasn't sharp. The image was incredible, and the customer sold a bazillion of it.

2. Color balance. This can be very subjective. I used to print color photographs, using negatives and an enlarger in a darkroom (yeah, I'm old), so the color being "off" is something I notice.

Keep taking pictures and posting them!

And have fun while you do! You learn as much, if not more, from your mistakes as you do from getting it right.
