My first Submission...
Please allow me to introduce myself and give a little background, I am new to the world of photography(4 months) and this forum(1 day) and have really fallen in love with it. My first camera was a Minolta STSI and that compelled me to purchase the Fuji film S7000, and now that I feel I have a decent digital camera I have to learn how to use it. I have read several web sites and peoples suggestions and tips and I am picking up allot of good information from everyone but I am still not sure about settings like aperture and exposure compensation. Does anyone know of a good book that will go through the basics and intermediate stuff that’s easy to read and I won’t lose interest in minutes. I have a very short attention span and would so much rather learn by doing over reading…Thanks in advance, and please let me know your comments on my first submission. I am anxious to hear what you have to say about this shot.

Welcome to PR.com!
I would recommend a good introductory book by John Hedgecoe, I can't remember the name of it..
This is a good photo. It has a good compostion. The foot prints are a good composotional element.
Keep shooting and keep posting and coming back to here! Make sure you check out the other forums too!

Colors?
The colors in this shot are unusual. Did you do something to get them this way? They give the scene a funky look, imho. It looks like you've got some sun flare in the lower right corner, there is a red spot there. The horizon should be level, it's tilted a bit. But a nice first submission. Keep posting!
