Exposure
Really just look at photos. Pick a few photo websites you enjoy, set up an account and browse photos, everyday. Part of it is equipment, part of it post processing, and part of it is knowing what you want to shoot.
Take a look at Photo.net, Flickr, and deviantart. Like all online communities they are plagued by excessive ass patting and seemingly arbritrary popular based on it. Try to avoid the people who ass pat too much. Photo.net has the least problem in this area, deviantart the most. Flickr has other, more serious problems with it. Look around for others if you want, but pick a few and start browsing.
When you watch a movie, do you appreciate the cinematography? Do you ever want to see that scene with a different dof? A different type of light? A wider lens? A different view point? Ask the same questions when you look at a photo. Like the one presented needs a different light type of light from a different angle.
Do you want to hunt for photos on the street or do you want control everything in the photo like light and DOF with still lifes and portraits?
