Understanding the equipment, the light and the composition. Quickest things for an amateur to do to improve, understand how your lens f stop changes the amount of the picture in focus. Learn how changing the zoom of the lens changes the depth of field (how far apart things seem).
Sit for a day and just watch one piece of nature and how it looks so different from predawn to twilight. You will see a difference in colour, saturation, warmth, the way the shadows lay.

Practice, practice, practice.
