This looks like Joshua Tree State Park - is it?
Joshua Tree National Park. I've been out there a number of times over the years, but this time I fell in love with the place and saw a lot of potential. Now I'm planning on doing a whole series of images.

Correction to "National" park is noted sir - charge it to my head not my heart bro.
I was on an engineering project last year in Irvine, CA - had a chance to see California from Diego to The bay. Took a day trip up to the that part of state to hike in the desert and see Joshua Tree - found some exquisite opportunities for images to capture here are a few...

Great shots! I think that the fact that this was the first time I've been out there with clouds is what did it for me. Needed the texture of the clouds to balance with the rough terrain.

I've never understood why someone posts their photo on a forum in the critique area and is upset about the critique! I guess if you can't take the heat, don't step in the fire! I just finished reading the Steve Jobs biography. The guy was almost vicious in his critiques, and some people couldn't take it-- but look at the products Apple produced under his leadership. Without the critique, I won't learn and grow!

Photohacker: Not sure how you shot and processed your striking image but it sure pleases the eye.
My response to the title of the this thread: A professional photographer takes pictures and writes an invoice for his work, whereas an amateur takes pictures without an economic motive.
The term "amateur" here does not really go to the matter, though, because a non-professional photographer may possess more skill, talent, vision, and artistry than the professional.

Being a photographer means having something to say with your camera and evoking emotions from the viewer. To me, that's what it's all about and it doesn't matter if they like the picture or not. Amateur or professional doesn't matter either. You can be a crappy photographer but still make a good living if you know how to market yourself. Nowadays the line between the two are blurred and it's not what makes you a photographer, it's how well you convey your message to the viewer.
