Seconded. Everyone always has room for improvement, and who knows, maybe you do need more of a conscious understanding of composition (your call really), but as far as an "eye" you clearly have one, just keep shooting and you'll eventually see patterns int the things that work for you.
Of the shots you have up, i particularly like
http://www.vazaar.com/user:photoaddi...otos/id:15301/, and
http://www.vazaar.com/user:photoaddi...hotos/id:8323/. The flower macro is simple, but well composed, especially the choice to allow it to break the edges of the frame, and placing it off center instead of simply lining the frame up around it and clicking the shutter. In the other (barn?), the vertical and diagonal lines work well together, and the (maybe unconscious) choice to include the hay bales in the corner provides a nice endpoint for the shot's diagonal motion. You might like other things about these, the important thing is, when you do get shots that you like, look at them and figure out what you like, then keep that in the back of your mind when you go shoot again. Chances are you're really your own best teacher.
