things that are pleasing to the eye are things that aren’t symmetric, so don’t take pictures that are perfect like that. also use the thirds rule. if you take a picture and cross it into thirds both horizontally and vertically put the focus points where the lines cross…if that makes any sense
This answer is adapted from my reply to a similar question a day or so ago, it might help:
Good gear is nice to have and certainly makes life easier, but the skill and judgment of the photographer far outweigh any advantages created simply by the standard of equipment being used.
If you wanted to be a fine-art painter you wouldn’t expect to be able to buy the best paints and brushes, read a ‘How To’ manual and go out and reproduce the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, would you?
Take the time to learn your craft, to make what could be simply the operation of mechanical equipment into an art capable of inspiring the world.
It really is worth taking the time to learn it all properly; practice til you can’t see straight and keep asking questions like this. Listen to the advice we are really pleased you want to know and don’t give up. Don’t be put off by us whining from time to time and keep at it.
Take the classes. Read everything you can find. Look at pictures everywhere you see them, and learn from the good ones - and the bad ones. Practice. Practice. Practice. Then practice some more. When the camera is like an extension of your arm, you will see the world like you never saw it before and the great thing is this never leaves you. You will spend the rest of your life being amazed.

Okay.
Practice doesn’t make perfect if what you are practicing is in error.
Location, location, location and good lighting.
Things look better close up, except when they are out of focus.
f/stop is not a traffic sign.
Spending too much money on camera gear can put you in reverse.
If you don’t see the picture, don’t take the picture (unless you have PhotoShop).
A picture is worth a thousand words….. let’s hope they all don’t start with the letter f or d or s …
Learn to use the tools you have to make masterpieces, don’t buy master pieces thinking they will create them.
