Help with analysis

I'm just posting a game I played recently and wondering if you guys have any input on it.  I've hit one of those intangible ceilings, and even though I won, I'm sure theres a better way to do it.  I'm white, by the way...

It's a good game - though dominated by black's error (18. ... Nc5) which loses a piece.

After 3...e5, examine your CHECKS and CAPTURES. 4.Nxe5! wins a key central pawn. Of course, your tactics were better than your opponent's--you picked up the Bh3! If you want to get more tactical practice (and thus improve faster) consider tactical openings like the Italian Game--yours is pretty passive. Or in the middlegame strive to open up the position with pawn breaks like b4/f4, or even better read a book on tactics. :)
