You need to get a DSLR as soon as you can as your photographic skills are better than your camera despite the wonderful Leica camera that it is!
I was in the same position as you till November and didn't realise it until other photo-forum members persuaded me to switch from a Fuji F31 (lovely compact) to a Nikon D40 DSLR......I saw an immediate difference in the quality of images I was able to produce once I got the new camera and I think you are in the same situation....go for it!

@Ian Bramham: Thank you, Ian. I agree. This photo was taken a couple of months ago. But I just got Nikon D80, so I am trying to switch. The transition is not easy since I don`t know how to use it yet. I am not familiar with all the technical part of the process. So I enrolled myself into a class.
I will try to work hard and hopefully soon you will see some difference. Plus I`d like to learn some of the post effects as well since every photo could use some work.
Thank you very much for your feedback and criticism. It is very helpful and encouraging.
