I think to an extent we all go through this at times. I know I did before I came here now my pics have gone up a notch and I have a vault of knowledge to improve things further ... partkly what you will be experiencing is a point and shoot limit .. ie your ability now out weighs what your camera can do .. as much as I know it is the photographer pushing the shutter release that makes a pic it is also to an extent the equipment I have had a wander through your Flickr you have talent and a good eye ... if expeense is a problem try e-bay and get either a more flexible camera P&S Superzoom ? or a lower end DSLR and see if you get further ... whatever you do do not give up as you have some excellent work in your Flickr and lovely shots. go to the share your shots and have a mooch through the posts there, you will seee a wide range of ability from pro to novice but without fail all try hard ... keep it up !

and WOW what a list *gets pen and paper*
