Read a few books, then take lots of pictures. Tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of pictures. If you're lucky then you might become a good photographer.

It doesn't really matter. There are a million of them, and they all cover basically the same thing. Just go to the library and pick one.

butterfly is right
post pictures on /p/ .. and learn as you go, /p/ is painfully honest
they even scared pskaught away

anyway, many things are 'wrong' with your photo
i wouldn't say wrong, but i'd say.. boring..
i also can't see what you're trying to convey, looking at your photo does nothing for me, it's a beautiful background with a silhouette of a random looking guy randomly looking at the camera with both hands in the air doing peace signs.
basically, the photo is too random/boring to be good in any way at all.
instead you should've taken interesting shots of that backdrop behind the boring looking guy.
if you did, post em!

Also being a good photographer means learning how to present your photographs to others.

In a small easily accesable package.
