It's Your Skillz and Creativity that counts

I said it before, I say it again...and it's proven after many exploring of pro photographers website and they were showing off all their big many lens (from sigma to tamron)and flashes and extension battery and what not. Man, I couldn't afford any of it. "tebahanga" ku meliat. But (Yes there is a but) When I saw their shot, it was terrible! no skillz at all (compare their site with other pro photographer). there was a mark vivid noise, poor tonal, underexposure and not to mention the angle on the shot!!! and you shooting with what Top notch Nikon and Canon DSLR. The below pic here is shot not with a DSLR but with my handy Handphone Nokia 1.3MP. Work it up in Raw (Photoshop Bridge) and a Postwork in CS3 and this is the result, and it's only a cactus! I apologize that I degrade you self claim "Pro-shooter", but you are not helping us beginners and those who wants to be. You people as sending poor messages to us wanna-bees. Hope I made my point.
