This is what I know: always try to have some red in the pic.

Animals are better close up (don't know why PT member would want to know THAT!)

Framing the subject is nice. Like with a tree branch, have it down the side of the pic not thorugh the middle.

I have been looking at the Canion powershot, I want, want WANT a digital camera. I'm tired of waiting until I finish my roll of film to see what I have. How long have you had it? Do you like it?

I hope someone with real photo expertise answers, I'll be watching!
