Hey, /p/, I'm am pretty new to photography (just got my Canon EOS 40D this summer), and I was wondering if you had any good tips, books, or other resources for someone like myself on composition, technique, and whatever else you think it takes to become a good photographer.

Thanks for the input everyone, it's greatly appreciated. The horizontal misalignment can be easily fixed, I suppose, as well as the cropping.
