What do you all think of some of the photos I've taken with my OMD-EM1?

Shadows

The shadows in most images are all black, showing no detail. They'd look better i.m.o. if you could avoid that. Clogged shadows sometimes result from editing the images on a laptop with a mediocre screen (laptop screens often have a gamma error that makes shadows look brighter than they are).

Another suggestion would be to try and see the world (through your viewfinder) in terms of lines and geometrical shapes (squares, rectangles, circles, etc) to aid in finding a more balanced composition.
