It all makes sense. The more pictures you study, the better pictures you take. I am very selective when I favorite photos on Flickr. I only press that little star when I really like an image. The suggestion over on TWiP is to not only view, but study tons of images. This way you can better understand what you like and what you don't; and how it's achieved.
This is an image by one of my favorite photographers on Flickr. There's so much about this picture that speaks to me: perfectly sharp eyes; math on the hand; smirk underneath the hand; the framing that puts her eyes toward the top right, her hand toward the middle, and just enough shoulder as to not over-power the shot. I'm not the only one. There's ~119 comments on this image alone. (Her profile says she's 15; I think that might be an old bio.)

If you haven't already, make sure you check out the This Week in Photography podcast. It always has useful information for all skill levels of photography. It's run by some professional photographers, but is dumbed-down for the amateur like me.
