You can increase your chances of taking a great photo by:
thinking about the time of day you're shooting (really this is about light, but shooting early morning/dusk is an easy way to immediately upgrade your snapshits with good lighting)
thinking about what you're shooting in terms of image, not content (eg in the picture you posted theres some guy on a motorcycle in the background looking like he's having a breakdown, it totally disrupts the vibe of the image - if the photographer had thought about the image before hitting the shutter button, they probably would have noticed the man on the bike, and not included him)
Learn that a lot of the photos that people say are good are just 'right place right time pictures' they just show something that audiences and viewers havent seen before or seen very often. This means: go to weird places at weird times, look for the places weird people go
Look at photos and think about photos. dont just 'consume' ask yourself questions like what does the photo mean, what's the vibe of the photo, what kind of photo is it? What makes it work, what is the photo(grapher) trying to say? How could you have done it differently? Why do you like it? Why is it popular? etc.
There's 3 variables in digital photography (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) learn how different configurations affect the final image, and then ask questions about what effects they have on the final image (for example what kind of configuration creates the illusion of motion)
And finally, to make your photos more interesting, try using lenses that go extremely wide or extremely tele - this is really gimmicky but your pictures will get more interesting because of the distortion/compression (though over time I guarantee the novelty will wear off!)
