A couple more. Slanted horizon and overexposed.

Thanks again daniellei4510. This may be silly, but I'm extremely green! I've noticed a lot of my photos are slanted and I'm not sure how to fix it other than practicing alignment with the shot and a more steady hand. Is there more to it than that?

You need a graphics editor such as Adobe Photoshop. Not just for correcting slanted compositions, but for color correcting, adjust exposure over all or in the shadows and highlights and more.

        The first photo is not level and the shadows are too dark.
        The second L1060596 same thing.
        L1060655.JPG the road should be level.
        L1060487.JPG  too dark, not focused and too much noise.
        Post processing is a must for most photos before submitting. Pay attention to composition, exposure and sharpness.
