Shelley, that's a lot like the I Hate Your HDR link in my signature.
Adam, Stages of a Photographer is in my signature as The HDR Hole.
There's a forum I'm on where there's a section dedicated to outing "pond scum" who give professional photographer's a bad name. You know the type -- they buy a DSLR and become professional photographer's overnight; they end up charging almost next to nothing for paltry work, but, it affects long-time established professional photographers as there's an opinion being promulgated in the public that anyone can become a professional photographer, all they have to do is buy an APS-C DSLR, and, as a result, the established professionals shouldn't be charging what they do for their work. I love it when I'm doing weddings and Uncle John who's just bought himself a Rebel or Dx000 thinks he can direct the bride and groom for their shots. I just stop shooting.
As can be seen on that page, good photographer's take years to refine their craft.
