try useing a macro lens your rock is out of focus if you dont have a macro simply use selective focus or manual focus on the lens ring and make sure to check your camera manual or lens manual or look up the specs on your lens via web for the closest focusing distance "
min focus"

First of all your caption may be funny but judges and clients alike wont even pay attention to them if your basic elements are missing. before posting anything ask yourself does this realy have a chance at winning then ask your self how it could be better color composition WHITEBALANCE!!! possibly then fix it take another 20-200 shots and when your happy with it go for it submit

Whitebalance is a simple thing to fix every editing program short of mspaint allows you to adjust global color correction -cyan +red - blue + yellow then correct the image to make sure magenta and green are balanced.. i find that in most images your better off with a little more magenta than green as long as their is no foliage involved.

in photoshop use the 81a filter then adjust the colors again in color balance and make sure your black values are true with the levels tool

hey man i feel for you. I went and bought my first digital camera 3 years ago it was the SONY DSC F717 I thought it was the best camera in the world as I was compairing it only against other shitty cameras then I began to learn more about it and found that it sucked at ISO 100+ so when the DSC f828 Came out I jumped on it .. that only realy helped alittle I can go to ISO 200 without too much trouble . .
After reading through my 18 diffrent subscriptions to various photography magazines for 3 years I quickly learned that the only way to go is SLR's
CANON is on top of the ball with it's new Canon EOS 1DS Mark II it's grain dosn't show up until ISO 800 and still because of the Resolution you can scale the images and nearly eliminate it. plus paint shop pro 9.0 does an awesome job at removing the noise.

buy a mark II either the EOS 1DS or the EOS 1D or you could go all the way and buy a phase one 22mp back and hasselblad but you wont get the same shooting flexability as the canon.

Personaly im going to try and hold out for the next model canon has to offer if it isn't too long from now.

keep in touch dude

just because your camera can produce fairly nice pictures at ISO 1600 dosn't mean you should use it all the time. I can see the noise in the image, if you had settled for ISO 400 It would have turned out better. There is no excuse for a shutter speed of 5,000 unless you are shooting fallling water. A shutter of 600 will do just fine especialy with the sucsessive shooting capability of i think 40 pictures??

For how nice your equipment is you should be taking better photos.
