As a photographer I'm exactly what I wannebe .-) Regarding professionals I know a sports photographer who uses manual focus and single exposures when photographing downhill skiing with a dslr. While the movements are too fast for the AF they are predictable for the prepared photograher. He has won a lot of prizes and sold a lot of pictures, so he's no amateur wannabe.
Anyway, I was talking about content, and in my view these images may be impressive from a technical point of view, but the content is not. They tell us something we already know in the most obvious way, so once you have finished enjoying the technical brilliance the pictures loose their interest. Of course, that doesn't matter much in flashy magasines that are thrown away the next day, but that not where I wannebe.
