Look at your own photographs as often as you can to see the patterns in them and you will also realize the types of subjects that really interest you. Always be looking for ways to improve.
It is a good practice to use a flash whenever taking photographs of people, even outdoors, especially when they are wearing a hat.
Use motion to emphasize energy in subject. For example, pan with a moving subject to blur background.
