 Virtually straight from the SD Card to here with very basic editing.

Imported the file from SD Card to PC as a JPEG.

Saved file as a PNG. Someone told me that PNG would not lose resolution in editing, particularly in rotation of image.

Adjusted rotation a little less than a degree to straighten the waterline and building.

Cropped the image slightly, resized and resampled the cropped image to a 800 x 600 and selected "Apply sharpen after Resample" in the IrfanView program.

Saved image as a JPEG File in "Save for Web" RIOT [Plugin]into a self created Pre-Upload Folder.

Uploaded file to DPC for you to view.

If you have time, I would appreciate a comment or two from you.

I have a problem.

The problem is, is that I think the image is OK but I don't know what to do to improve it.

I have recently installed CS2 Creative Suite, Adobe Photoshop and am in the infancy stages of its learning.

Would you be so kind as to offer a tip or two of what you would do in processing, to improve the image?

Thanks h2 I always benefit from your comments.

I'd also crop off about the lower 1/4 to get rid of the centered waterline Yeah it does look a bit top heavy, even though I liked the foreground h2o Thought I'd bring your username into good use in describing water.

I see your point though with the centered waterline.
You are correct A610 does not shoot RAW. Yes this was a jpeg image.
Thanks, all the same I appreciate your comments.

"...that PNG would not lose resolution in editing, particularly in rotation of image "
Nonsense.

As far as enhancement goes, depends on if you shot in RAW or JPG (but I guess the A610 doesn't do RAW?). In RAW you could virtually change anything, starting with a slightly warmer white balance maybe, over to less contrast and/or highlight recovery etc.
On the JPG you could add a warm filter (In PS CS2 somewhere under Image-> Adjustments ->)
I'd also crop off about the lower 1/4 to get rid of the centered waterline
