Need some critics to take a look

I'm hopeing there's some good art critics out there who can help me out. I've been getting into photography lately and I think I might even take it up as a full time hobby outside work, and if I'm lucky make a little money on the side with it. But before that I have a lot of learning to do so please let me know what you think (even if you hate it) 
I've kept them all links to save bandwidth on the forums.
A group of small yellow mushrooms growing on a rotting log.
Ghost Falls
One of my favorites. This one was taken at 2 am in complete darkness, exposure time of 20 minutes made the moonlight build up on the negative and caused the stars to swirl like they do.
Sarrail Falls. Exposure time was around 5 seconds, some spots are just a little too bright for my liking but I like it anyway.
The Doorway
And a couple other pieces of "art":
Beats me. I drew this one in Photoshop during a mushroom trip, I have no idea what it is, I just started drawing and this is what came out.
Mush Wallpaper
BSG Vipers on patrol. (from the only sci-fi show worth watching these days if you ask me)
Like I said, I only dabble There's something oddly therapeutic about just drawing something while you're tripping though, maybe not on a full blown trip but even after smoking a bowl or two just drawing whatever comes into your mind and listening to some good music is an adventure in itself. As for the photography, well I like to trip in nature and I usually take my camera along for the ride 
Comments are welcome and very much appreciated =)

Well I'm no "serious art critic" but I don't have to be one to say I like your work. I've wanted to get into photography myself for awhile.
That third one is really cool. Did the stars blur because the earth was rotating?

I love that night-time exposure with the swirling stars. Good job!

Yeah I think so, though I had no idea they would center around the tip of the tree like they did that was a nice little surprise 
Night photography is definatly my favorite, you can get some really cool effects with just moonlight and long exposures. I opted for a good old Pentax K1000 film camera just for this, since digitals can't do long exposure shots =( The thing is a tank though, it's 20 years old, been dropped in streams and what not but still keeps on trucking.
Thanks for the comments guys, very encouraging to hear some positive feedback 
Oh, and some of you might remember my Trips In Pictures post a while ago, I'll be doing another one of those very shortly. My little babies are almost ready =))

That is definitely good enough for someone to pay you a handsome sum of money.

nice scenic photography.
really, youve got a good eye. however, making a steady amount of money through photography can be harder than some people may think. just do it for the love of it! and if you can make a few bucks in the process then hallelujah. that's how i look at it anyway.
what kinda film do you usually shoot?
