Hey guys, this is my first critique post, so please be gentle! ;-)
Well, I read it said to only put up one picture in the post, so I will put up the post-processing one, which all I did was correct the levels and contrast and apply a poster edge filter which I changed the thickness of the lines and a few other minute details. I know that poster edges and art filters are a quick and cheap way to make a crappy shot look okay, and that is why I did it. ;-)
Here is the original in link form:

This was taken with a Digital Rebel XTi, a Canon 10-22mm lens at 10mm, f/5.6, and 30 second exposure at ISO 400 (I think. I was playing around with different ISO's, and I forget which this one was...).
I was just wondering how I should compose this better. Specifically, should I change any settings on my camera, my angle of shot, change my inclusion/exclusion of the tree on the left? Basically, any critique is greatly appreciated, and I would be eternally grateful. Thanks a lot!
