At present I'm a shoot first, ask questions later kind of person. I'm always seeing things I want to photograph, especially when it's totally inappropriate!! (Like I'm in the middle of an important conference call).
I'm hoping to put more thought into the picture beforehand. Currently it's point and shoot, look at results, change some settings, shoot, see results, lather, rinse, repeat and still never actually come out with the photo I want.
I particularly want to improve my ability to judge exposure before taking the first shot - not that important with digital you might think, but as my favourite type of photography is nature, and more specifically birds and insects, getting a good shot quickly is key.
I'm posting what I think is the best photo I have ever taken. The reason for this is to have some tangible measure of my progress, and also to show the original as I'm hoping to improve it further once I'm up and running on Photoshop.

hello you! I really like this picture as well. I'll give you some valuable critique once the course starts and I know what I'm talking about!
I've had another look at your picture and I think what it's missing is the birds eye. Could you photoshop one in and see if it makes any difference?
Ah yes I see it now, thanks for the input. Will definately have a go!
