I have a Nikon D5000 and I like taking photos with it. I have taken about 4,000 in the last 3 months and have only uploaded about 20 of them, so I am not very good yet.

I don't like a lot of processing with an image, except if it really makes the picture interesting. HDR generally looks like cartoons, and is almost never done subtly.

I'm not happy with the composition of any of my photographs, with maybe a couple of exceptions that I got lucky on!
