Thanks guys! I would love to see what you (both) would do with it. What do you mean by post processing? Also..is it really messing me up to not shoot in RAW? My computer shuts down when I try to upload RAW files so I have been using JPG. Just let me know where to send the original file.

My computer shuts down when I try to upload RAW files so I have been using JPG. Just let me know where to send the original file. Post Processing - Using an editing program to bring the most out of your capture. RAW - 12 or 14bit data captured to give you the most elbow room to do post processing on your capture. jpg files are only 8 bit and can react harshly to more serious editing. It doesn't take a high end computer to do post processing on, but most current editing programs do push older equipment fairly hard. But almost any current i3 processor or better with even a mid level video card can do some pretty darned nice editing. Most editing is 2D and you don't need a crazy gaming level computer to edit.

I have PS Elements 9 for editing. But I suck at it lol I have been reading up and practicing some though. It frustrates me.
I will try to shoot something in RAW again and upload it...it has been a while since I tried and I can't even remember why, but just remember that my computer did something funky when I tried to put them on.

Too much of this picture, is in a shadow. In landscape shooting shadows usually are negative space that need to be accounted for, before taking the shot. The leading lines here also take you away from what I think was the subject.
Solution is to reposition/ reframe the shot. MHOYMMV

Have you checked for a local course on Elements 9? Or, perhaps, a class at/through a local community college? When I was first trying to get a handle on Photoshop I took an online course through the local community college and that helped a lot. There are also a lot of online classes and tutorials that can be found.
