I went from 200Kodak to 400Fuji.  Do you prefer Kodak or Fuji, or know of any better, or does it matter?   I need to work on the manual settings with my digital.    Thank you for the tips.

FWIW, I use a Canon 20D and a wide selection of lenses. I shoot all my pics in RAW format and use Photoshop CS2 to convert to jpeg or tif and editing. Its a rather spendy program but makes editing a lot easier. Focus can also enhance some photos. For instance, the first photo the focus is on the bigger buck in the forground, leaving the little buck in the background as an afterthought. The second pic is just the opposite. Although both pics are relativley the same, you get two different stories simply by changing the focus. Most of the pics in "Post Montana" were taken with a Canon 400mm/4FIS or a 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L EF IS. Going with an SLR gives you much more options however may not be cost effective for most.

Another thing I like doing is using the bushes in the forground as a frame. For outdoor pics it makes it look like you are hiding from the animals or sneaking up on them. Gets the imagination working like in these 2 pics. Notice it looks like I am sneaking up and peaking at them through the bushes. Keep in mind, these are just suggestions, in no way am I saying I know it all, just sharing.
