Pictures in my head

When I take pictures, I see the kind of quality of your pics in my head, but my camera never produces such quality. Do you have any advise or direction I could follow to learn?

My best advice is...

Take lots of photos.
Critique them with trusted peers.
Print out ideas and try to simulate them - look at lighting, location, cropping

I always told my Art students "Artists Copy! The biggest complement one can receive is to be copied." It's really hard to see an image you shot copied, but I remind myself to take it as a complement. This means that people love what you do.

Feel free to send me images and I'll try to give some constructive criticism.
