I meant to comment for a while that you have a good eye for composition. Keep pushing on the shutter. Getting a good pic out of a 36 exposure roll is not bad at all. Most good photogs don't do much better 2-3 photos, if that (*).
Ken Rockwell is a funny guy - he's more a.... technician than a photographer. Look at his photos and judge for yourself.
Even with my IR work, where you *have to* do some post processing work, I tried to keep them at a minimum. There is a difference in taking a picture and making a picture. As you know, I sometimes enhance a picture with calligraphy, but I still believe that there is a moment that speaks to the photographer, and this moment is the essence that should be preserved.
(*) A funny story is that a famous photojournalist (I forgot his name) at the dawn of the 35mm age reluctantly switched to a 35mm camera from his usual larger format camera. When he got off the plane after an assignment, he threw the film canister to a waiting assistant, and said something like "print both of the pictures, they are both good." That is, he still took as much care in shooting as he was before.
