btw: I just looked at the shots you posted and they are very good! Beautiful fall colors and nice composition. She's probably just one of "those" people.

You know. That's a funny thing. "Professional" and "Serious" photographers seem to have that reaction. I know I do. Photographers, even proud amateurs, can be very territorial.
From the person's standpoint who is "butting-in", so to speak, they believe it's perfectly okay. In the most offensive way, they might think that they can do the same thing for free and want to prove you are ripping them off somehow. (Yes there are some people go through their life feeling this way about everything. It seems like a sad life to me.) In the most flattering way, they probably just want to play and maybe learn something too. The second type are usually quite fun to work with, once there is an understanding of who is the real professional. They usually like to talk shop for fun, and then they let you do your job. The first type are just evil and malcontent.
