I will be the first to admit I have never made an amazing image. I have made some very solid images and maybe some great images, but I haven't ever made an image that just makes me stop and analyze it repeatedly. Like my example of Ansel Adams, the first time i saw his Snake River shot, I just stood there and took it in, because it is an amazing image. And to this day, I look at the 5x7 in my room of the same image and it has the same effect. I think were comparing to different ideas of amazing.

Take this image for example. There isn't anything particularly specatular about this image. Just a guy on a parkbench, visually at least.
However, I find it very interesting. It invokes your mind to wander as to what this man is doing. Especially given the angle and B&W processing.
A straight on, color image would have been bland and just a guy on a parkbench. This is what I'm talking about in terms of making a simple subject far more interesting than they actually are.

True, but look at where that is taken. It takes stumbling accross a man that is very interesting to look at AND having the conditions be great exactly where they are place. I do find street photography really interesting though, and it's something I'll probably try to replicate since I don't seem to have anything else to take pictures of. There are some awesome street photog shots.

It could take years to create a portfolio of near perfect "everyday" images.
Now, follow the president of the US around with a camera for a week, and you could have 500 portfolio images simply due to the subject matter and the circumstance it is in.

I like the first one.
SEcond one has a person that is distracting and the composition does nothing for me. Also can't see her eyes.
Third one is a good image but could benefit from cropping out the slight rocking and the bird.
4th is as little dark for me, but I do like it.
Cool images, all similar. Did you try other angles at all?
