1. Make Better Photos
2. Learn how to change and adjust your camera settings for when you’re shooting
3. Check your histogram
4. When there is a water bottle/any ugly object in the background, don’t just say “I’ll fix it later in Photoshop” – get up and remove it from the scene.
5. Take more photos and ACTUALLY EDIT THEM.

I'm noticing a theme here for steps 1-4.
So much #4. … I actually had a customer in my store today, printing his photos from Europe, lamenting a beer bottle sitting on a statue in a picture he really wanted to print.
…but then, I also couldn't explain to this guy what aspect ratios were and why the picture he had edited into a square wouldn't print properly onto a 4×6. 😛
