Keep taking pictures. I liked the desert shot. But in my humble opinion I think it could have been better if it were a sunset shot. New Mexico has some of the best sunsets I have ever seen. Make them interesting. It takes time. I have noticed that photography tends to take a bit of a back seat to 3d art on this site. Oh by the way, there are some pics on my gallery from the Santa Fe / Los Alamos area if your interested. All in all not a bad start.
