Sign up to a local night class in September, there will be a range of courses, non-qualification, diploma, A-level etc etc unfortunately most require fees. Still getting good tuition costs money, just like getting good MPs and bankers costs money.
Or head to your library, there will be loads of books on how to develop expertise, not necessarily pentax expertise, but they will be able to order in books if they haven't got exactly what you want.

Animals are hard to photograph. They rarely do what you ask of them!
So what you need are luck and patience. Many people think that they can go out and get great shots straight away. What you need to do is sit and wait with your camera in your hand and keep shooting. If you get one great shot then that's a success.
This shot is straight out of the camera and taken with a 50mm lens, no cropping. But it's one shot out of around 50 I took and involved me inching towards the goose over the course of about 10 minutes until I had a clear background and the composition I wanted.
When it comes to things that don't move the same rule applies. Look at what you are shooting and see how many angles you can find.
For me the real skill is not putting the camera to your eye until you are sure the shot is there to be taken - learn to make the camera see what you can see.
