I think you need to work hard at moving away from just shooting what you see and spend time composing the shots you take. I can't tell from the pictures why they were taken and it doesn't look like you had a particular idea in your mind when you pushed the shutter button. If something catches your interest in a scene, you should try and think how best to represent that interest in a photograph and then move in close, change your viewpoint or depth of field to emphasise it. One of the most important lessons I learned is that just because something is interesting to look at it won't necessarily make a good photograph unless you work at it. I hope I'm not being unduly critical, there are people on the LUG who are much better qualified than me to provide advice.

Well, mostly reading the list, seldom writing... 2 weeks as I'm back from Colombia trip (for work). Stayed a week mostly in Bogota, however was lucky having few free hours here and there taking few guided tours (with personal guide) in the city and outside. My pleasure to present to the community the outcoming of that journey: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/alexz/Colombia/ and my favorite from there as long as carrying about street scenic photo: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/alexz/Colombia/_82+rff.jpg.html chances this one worth (for me at least, so far cannot brag my a high hit rate with my Leica photography) spedning some time tweaking in PS and printing large...
