Have you ever taken an image, and by the time, you've sorted it, rated it, processed it, named it, tagged it and put it on Flickr you've not rated it yourself because you feel that it just didn't have "the something"
This was me yesterday with this one. Taken same time as my other Orchid shot, I took this one, different type of orchid and this time lit from behind. I like it... but its just missing something I felt.
But then Flickr happens.
It hit Explore. Well over four thousand views. Loads of likes/faves my phone peeping that much with notifications about it that I had to turn the ringer off at work.
So I ask do we truly value our images? Or do we get to the stage where we don't see what we saw when we first looked through the view finder and thought, "Thats a good shot!" simply because we spend that much time with them afterwards...

Ps I know this is possibly a deep thought at this time of day.
