These were all snapshots, but i've tried to make something of them through PP. If i failed, let me know. 
1: I debated cropping out the M113, and the arm to the left, and opted to keep it due to the otherwise sourceless shadow on the ground
2 Just cropped much closer, and off-set the subject from the center from the original some level adjustments.
3 Level, and bright/contrast adjustments only... wish i could go back and re-shoot this
4 Took a boring snapshot, and went with an old-school ww2 look... works for me, but...
5 Again closer cropped, and tried to PP glaring highlights in the background, and lighten up the subject a bit more.
6 Severely cropped down on a distant shot. placed the subject far to the right of center, when i had shot him dead center. again i went for a high contrast look here. Added a filter effect to darken the sky a touch, and bring out the faint clouds, otherwise it was completely blown out.
7 Another pure snapshot. cropped tight. when i converted to grayscale, i used more than just the "convert to grayscale" button to get higher contrasts again.

I'm not gonna sackride Canon... i bought the 350D over the D40 because of the Megapixel count... nikon was $50 bucks more, for only a 50% bump over my sony p&s... so i went with the canon. I haven't used DSLRs enough to develop an opinion... that and i'm somewhat familiar with them from my previous Rebel G & X film cams.
