Thank you for the tips, I am color blind (a bit of a disadvantage) but I do see the difference in what you did. Thank you! The shot was not well composed, I was shooting my friend and my wife as they ran across a bridge (I was in a creek at the time) and Molly (the dog) ran by close to me. I was able to go out and shoot tonight with some more "composed" (still learning a lot about everything here) so I'll post the best of those when I get done with them.

@andnowi'mbroke - The rebel xt is the camera my wife bought several years ago, she didn't like the weight of the SLR so she went back to a point and shoot. I kinda picked up the camera as a curiosity and now I'm hooked. I really like the technical aspect of photography, but I don't have much of an eye for the art of it. I guess I have a life time to learn though!
