Ok first of all why do you post your replies one after the other? Just stick them all in the same post unless your just doing it to increase your post count and if that is the reason then stop.
Now about the pics:
These photos and the ones in your other thread look as if you didn't take hardly any time thinking about composition, lighting, angle, whatever, you just pointed the camera and shot. Maybe you tilted it a bit cause you saw a car photo somwhere where someone did that but I assure you that they didn't just randomly tilt the camera and take the shot. It does seem like you have an interest in photography and if that is truly the case than I urge you to do a little studying online. Read up on composition, lighting, aperture, shutter speed, anything photography related you can find. Then use this knowledge and apply it to your photos, you can get decent photos from a point and shoot, they aren't going to be.anywhere near the quality of a dslr, but you can still snap a nicely exposed and composed photo and people will pick up on that. I learned my basics with a $100 p n s, now a little over a year later I have a dslr and am still reading and learning everything I can. So again browse the web, read up on the basics, then the next time you pick up your camera put what you learned into effect and plan out the photo, put some thought into it and show that you really want to get better. There are some great photographers here and they can help you progress as a photographer but don't waste there time by posting random snapshots and asking for their opinions, it won't end well.

you really really REALLY need to stop posting pictures until you learn how to a) take criticism, b) UNDERSTAND AND IMPLEMENT the criticism and advice, and most importantly, c) understand the basics of photoshop tools and the basics of photography. Google some photography tutorials.

So perfectly written. It is true, it is like stepping up to Eddie Van Halen, playing twinkle twinkle little star and asking what he thinks. People on here are more than happy to give compliments where deserved and constructive criticism when needed, but when no obvious effort went into the photos, just paint a target on your chest, lay back and take it. You had to have thought putting these photos in front of a bunch of photographers who take the art quite seriously, wouldn't end with you getting endless praise from the masses and a complimentary reach around for these photo masterpieces.

Get a credit card from best buy and get yourself a DSLR or your choice...then pay it month-to-month. I see you want to get into photography, and it's great, but with P&S it is like trying to replace a tranny with only a set of pliers and zip ties. To get good results, you must use quality equipment, otherwise you will get negative comments about the photos (other than the photographer him/herself). Yes, you can take some sweet shots with $89 camera from walmart, but it is like day and night with DSLR. My $0.02.

Ok I will do what I can, I've been looking online and reading but it doesn't make any sense to me at all. I just read on about a bunch of stuff that my camera can't even do so it really doesn't help me at all.

Don't buy from Best Buy or any other type of retailer like them. Look online at reputed camera stores like Adorama or B&H. They also carry used equipment and certify/guarantee them. And check North Tampa Photography. www.ntphotodigital.com
Also check craigslist! Honestly, people on there are really ok when it comes to the cameras and I've seen some good stuff come from it.

My cheap little p n s had the ability to change up the aperture and shutter speed so there's a chance your can too. Is the an "M" mode on it? And sorry about the post count thing, its just I see you double and tripple post sometimes and its kinda a pet peeve for me.
