Thank you everyone for the helpful critiques!  Like I said above, I never really noticed the tilted horizons before, but now it is driving me NUTS!  I will definitely take my friend up on taking some pictures for her, but I am going to read up before on lighting and catchlights!  I reflector sounds like a good investment to make too, and I am guessing that will help my catchlight problem?  I always notice the eyes of most of my subjects are so flat, would that help this?

Bill- I do not mind one bit.  It actually really helped me see the lean in the buildings before.  The mountain link was directing me to the park, though, so I couldn’t see it.

Thank you again for the tips!

JLiu-  Thank you for the input!  I see what you mean about the horizons being sloped, thats something I forget about when framing the picture.  I will work on that as well as what I am actually wanting the picture to display.  Thanks again.

nairbynairb-  It really depends.  I usually try to take one of both because I don’t trust myself completely.  Most on this site are manual, except the flowers and a few of the dogs (they move so fast and I am so slow with manual, I feel like I am always changing things when the lighting is funny!)
