Zoom in on the subject while still focusing (use continuous autofocus). This might not be possible with all lenses. Do you have something useful to add? Do it!

be fearless - take initiative and click the damn shutter button be creative - try something new and don't be afraid to leave your comfort zone ( i still have trouble with this one ) be patient - don't give up, your first shot is hardly ever a winner have fun! don't take it too seriously!

Some new ones: http://www.ideacosmo.com/photography/composition-tips.html (some basic composition tips, but many seem to forget these) http://www.dphotojournal.com/ten-tips-for-great-animal-photos/ (common sense, really, but it's still good to at least skim-read it) http://www.ideacosmo.com/photography/nature-tips.html (this is a little better) http://www.chromasia.com/tutorials/online/curves/ (this one shows a bit of what you can do with curves, quite a nice one)
