not a bad start.
just so you know, you should research a bit more about photography now that you have a DSLR. its not just a simple point and shoot, and to leave it on Auto mode all the time is just a waste of your money. learn how to use manual mode, where different apertures and focal lengths can greatly improve the look of your photos.
also, check out basic photography stuff, like the
rule of thirds, which makes for a much more interesting composition.
this is another good link to get you started.
again, good start, and i look forward to more photos soon!
