I love when pictures ask questions or make others ask questions.
If you want to make more interesting pictures, become a more interesting person.
You sort of have to be always aware, even when you're not thinking of shooting. That's when the best stuff happens.
The problem suggests the solution.
Forget what it was. Look at what it is.
When you shoot, that is opportunity number one to make a statement. When you edit, you have opportunity number two to make your statement. It could be an affirmation of your first choice or could go off in another direction.
