I can tell you've got potential, but it's not coming through much.
A few things:
1. Most importantly, be much more concerned about the subject and composition than the "look" of the photograph. You seem focused on portraiture; a good portrait either says something about the person or somehow lets them address something to the camera and ultimately the viewer of the photograph.
2. Drop the borders.
3. Make your pictures primarily in the camera, not in Photoshop. I don't mean at all not to use photograph or not to post-process, but a boring photo about nothing or very little will be a boring photo about nothing or very little no matter how cool it looks. Learn about exposure, depth of field, and so on (Wikipedia will teach you the basic technical side of all this in under an hour, seriously) if you haven't already and buy a manual camera so you can put this into practice. It doesn't have to be expensive; most of Canon's Powershot line has manual controls and all of them are good cameras for whatever sort of camera they are, and Panasonic's Lumix line has three stand-out cameras (The FZ-50, the FZ-8, and the LX-2). I also understand Fuji makes and Konica-Minolta made some really good cameras, but I know less about those.
