Help With My First Photos Please

[Eldredge]

Well, I have two reasons for posting.

First, I tried to post some pics, but it didn't work. I read that I should open a photobucket account, so I did. I am pasting a link to three photos below. If it doesn't work please telp me see what I am doing wrong.

Second, any suggestions to improve the photos would be appreciated. Took them with an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW point and shoot, so my options are limited. Used "auto-fix" with the basic windows program, and resized on Photobucket. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Apparently I missed the fact that I was the object of a joke in the Lounge, and the photos actually were visible, so I guess they are probably working here too. I could still use any suggestions though.

well, if you can set a custom white balance, that would help. Otherwise you can correct the color curves in photoshop. you need to sharpen these a bit, either with a tripod, or faster shutterspeed if possible. (try selecting a "sport" pre-set)
