I have been painting a long time and am very secure in my ability to create what I consider art with it’s own original feel to it. But recently I bought a good digital camera and started taking what I hope will be considered artsy-fartsy photographs.
The problem is good photography is in a league of it’s own.
So, the question is: Do these photographs suck or do I have any potential as a serious photographer?
No, I don’t expect to reach the heights of Man Ray or Ansel Adams. But I am curious about what you think here. So be totally honest.

Yes, my personal favorites are "Magical Gate," and "Removing the Cold." Your art background shows in your photographs. You may have a lot to learn about all the photographic processes, but your sense of art carries you through. That is the harder thing to learn. Some people can do all the technical stuff with a camera, and never take a photo worth seeing. You have the captured the FEELING of your scenery, and that is much harder to do. I also am learning to take better technical photographs, but you ought to see how bad I am at trying to make the camera work when I have to change the settings on it. (My camera is not digital.) Have fun.

There is a significant change among Photography and taking a photo. Anything that elicits an emotional reaction is robust artwork.... Anyone can take a photo of a sundown, but it surely takes precise talent to make the picture talk to the viewer.... anybody can positioned paint on a canvas, but it surely takes precise talent to make the picture talk to the viewer. By pronouncing that portray is a extra authentic kind of artwork than pictures is useless snobbery. Painters omit that its simply as effortless to place paint on a broom as it's to press a digital camera's shutter.... it is not the equipment, its what you do with it.

Hello.
I'm not sure if it would be qualified as professional material as I am not experienced in the field. However, to be honest I would say I like all your photos except the last one, Removing The Cold.
Take care and God bless.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Art to someone is considered art only from their own perception.

I find that "Keeping Watch," Magical Gate" and "Removing the Cold" fit your definition of art photographs. The other two are good photographs, to be sure, but do not capture my attention as well.
Enjoy your new artistic endeavor!
