It's obvious you have an idea of the direction you want to go with your photography, so stick with it and do the best with what you got. There are some people on this site that swear they are the "end all be all" of DA, don't let them get to you. No matter what it is, it is your work and that is all that matters. If you ever have a question about photography give me a shout, I'll help the best I can.
