Am I good enough at photography to become a professional?

I started off with a Fujifilm bridge camera when I was 13, and I think my photos back then were pretty decent.
Now I'm 16 and armed with a Nikon D3200.
I seemed to have arrived at some crossroads. Should I become a pro photographer? Or should I keep it as a hobby?
I do know the technical aspects (Shutter speed, exposure, aperture, etc), although not all of them!

Check out my Instagram and let me know, thank you. https://instagram.com/...m/ishayc0/

Added (1). I would like to specialize in Nature photography and I'm considering War photography, despite the fact you'll all say I'm not thinking straight.

Added (2). I do not use filters, I simply edit my photos.

Your work so far smacks of talented tourist. You haven't developed a style or p.o.v. Of your own. This will come with age and experience, especially when you begin to photograph people. Btw, becoming a professional isn't strictly up to you. The public will make or break you in that regard. What area of photography do you want to specialize in? You'll improve once you have the gimmicks and gee-whiz stuff behind you.

You're getting there, but you're not quite ready for professional photography yet. You should continue practicing, learn more about your particular camera to get the most out of it, and go from there.

How weird… I live near one of those places in your photos - in fact only a few miles from you!

They're ok, nothing spectacular. But I think you rely too much on garish filters/effects. Instagram isn't the best place to showcase your work, find something else. Something like flickr.com where you can join photography related groups and get tips, and helpful critiques.

Update: filters, editing, same thing, just lay off it a bit.

At 16 your concern should be on becoming a better photographer, not on whether you can become a professional. Learn, study, practice. Use a better site than Instagram to feature your photos.

While I do use IG for my sign photos, Flickr is my main spot for sharing my work.

NO! You stated "I do know the technical aspects (Shutter speed, exposure, aperture, etc), although not all of them!". What does not all of them mean? If you do not understand each of those terms and how to use them properly without giving it much if any thought, you are not even close to being ready!

I saw absolutely nothing on your instagram site that would even entice me to consider hiring you for your services and nothing that I would consider good enough for purchasing.

Your images look like typical teenage snapshots without any thought given before taking them. Find a local "professional" photographer and take him/her five of your best images and ask if he/she would purchase any of them, and if not, why not. When you ask him/her why not, ask for a critique on each of them and ask them to be honest in their answer. Then you will know one of the reasons why you are not ready.

Here is what describes a professional photographer (or really any other professional)

* the person has some kind of formal education, learning the fundamentals of their profession.
* the person works as an assistant or apprentice for a company, learning how to run a business and hone the skills necessary to become a working pro.

Photographers also need to 1) be able to use any camera, anywhere, under any conditions and produce marketable images each time they press the shutter release and 2) know how to run a business and that includes not only owning the right equipment needed to provide the services, but what your costs of doing business actually is going to be.

You need to plan on learning the fundamentals of photography and honing your skills to take at least three to five years
