i would recommend getting a tri pod they are cheap and do wonders. I got one and my picture quality went way way up good luck

Did you use a flash ? If so I would try some with it off or a filter.

Ya I have a flash. I can set ISO aperature and shutter speed too but I don't know what it should be.

They are beyound the limits of salvaging with the possible exception of #1. If you post your exif and which editing software you are using I might be able to help you in your future endeavors.

I would recommend setting your ISO to the lowest number possible. Most cameras got down to 50 or 100. Raising it adds a lot of grain. It is better to shoot from a tripod with a longer shutter time than to increase the ISO.

Your cropping looks pretty good, although don't feel like you have to crop right in to the edge of your subject. Keep in mind the environment and look for cool features around the main subject like rock formations and other critters. When appropriate, other elements in a frame help to add a truer sense of scale to a photo.

As for a photo editing class, there are tons of them. Some local photo shops have regular classes and almost all community colleges offer several flavors of photography classes. You can learn to shoot film, process slides, use digital cameras, work with photoshop, etc. All for just a few bucks a unit. My mom took a digital camera class last year and learned a lot.
