I had some extra cash laying around a while back, so I bought a Pentax K-X. I'm still an extreme noob to DLSR's but am learning. I hope to gain some insight poking around this forum from time to time :)

Good job! You seem to be getting exposure down right.

Few tips: try learning photoshop so you can work on multiple exposure levels.
study art history and composition theory to improve the snap-shot-like quality of your images.

If you don't get an A in every class in college, you shouldn't be in college.
