Am I any good at Photography?
I am 14 years old, and I bought a Nikon D90 a year or so ago (but I have been taking pictures before that, with a less-professional camera) and I am just wondering if you think that I have any potential?
I really love photography, and I think it would be amazing to be able to travel around the world to amazing places and take pictures for magazines (National Geographic) or something!
There are just some of the pictures that I take

Thanks so much for your input!
There is nothing much wrong with the images I saw in your portfolio - I don't know what others meant by some being too dark; it doesn't look that way on my monitor, and thank goodness you have avoided the amateur's placement of the subject right in the middle of the frame - getting it off center (especially placing important elements on or nera the intersection of thirds) adds dynamic tension and interest.
Your age is in your favour - talent is not the most important thing you need to become a professional photographer (but you do need talent) - you need the right attitude, patience, determination and skill. Skill is talent guided by knowledge. It is not much good being able to take a good photo if you can't do it on demand, time after time. It is no use being able to get the photos you find interesting if you can't get the photos your clients or employers want.
So, get some training: join an active camera club, get onto a more knowledgeable community of photographers (betterphoto.com is good, and they have a group of 'togs your age, too) and start going to seminars and training sessions.
Plan to do photography at a college level, and consider looking for a working photographer in your district who would let you assist (don't expect to be paid for the privilege - it is a chance to learn).
Remember to get business training as well as photography training and you will do well.
