you got a great eye for photo, my advice to you! as i just learn take your time first stop.think.look. take the photo. my problem have been taking photos not thinking just wanted to get the photo, which is a shame because if i did what i told u to do, they would be better photos.
I like the way you look at things! The close ups work best if you ask me. Try to play with composition by placing your subject out of center. Welcome to 365 :-)
I wouldn't get too hung up on your camera - it is the photographer who makes the final image.
