I think I got this right, if not I will edit the comment, but 3, 6 and 8 are great photos, a good photographer can take a decent photo no matter what equipment he uses.
I'd tend to agree with this sentiment, I've seen so many people rush out and buy and SLR on the basis that they think they can just shake it in the general direction of a shot and it will perform miracles. No matter what the equipment the person creating the shot in the first place always makes the biggest difference.thetapeworm said:

One of my really old photos, taken on an LG Viewty, hopefully the Link works as I got rid of that phone over a year ago, I think its a fairly decent photo apart from the Quality. Its all about capturing that moment, not the equipment you use IMO.http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/343...

Of course it is all that. 
But people rather look at more than decent photos with very good image quality...
Especially when taking landscape photos, equipment and post processing most of the time can make a decent photo great.
The composition is good in pic 1. The colours are washed out but that's probably down to the gear. I'm sure it could be livened up in post processing or even be converted to B+W with half decent results.
Pic 2 the composition is a little off, the gate in the foreground is distracting and I think the path isn't leading somewhere as naturally as in pic 1.
The night pics are difficult to comment on because you have exposed for the sky so the shadow detail is lost. This is where a better camera comes in handy because you could expose the shot for the foreground and bring the sky in with a second shot and blend the two together, or use a graduated filter etc.
Keep snapping and remember, composition is key. One of my fave pictures was taken on a Nokia phone camera.

Camera phones are mostly rubbish at getting exposure correct. All of those above are either under or over exposed (and a couple have a bit of both). Having said that they are all quite difficult for a camera to work out, containing very bright and very dark areas. A DSLR will help with this but still struggle.
Oh...and ta rottie (cheque in the post).

I think the main issue to me (as well as what's already been mentioned, i.e. image quality, exposure etc) is the lack of focal point. There's absolutely nothing that draws my attention in these images. Yes, the potential is there but you just have to get the absolute best out of the scenes.

If those are great photos, what's this then?
