Self Doubt...
Self doubt can be and is a terrible part of the creative process but something that many of us face on a daily basis.
My favourite image is always the one I have just taken, but it's not until I have 'lived' with the image for a period of time that my failings are highlighted. Or I began to see the qualities within that were missed. Because this image didn't immediately jump out the screen or off the page, I placed it to the side.
It's easy to find an image that works, one that speaks to you. It's even easier to find images that completely fail for whatever reason. But the ones that sit in the middle ground can be a real problem.
I'll be honest and say the image presented is one I feel I will need to live with for a little longer. I just don't see it!
Granted I set the composition up, took the time to make the image and most certainly felt the connection at the time.
But the twist is my ten year old son assures me that it shouldn't be dismissed. He is connecting with something I'm simply not seeing. I trust his judgment and have uploaded today. I will conclude my personal thought process in six months or so after I've lived with it a little longer!
I know there can be no right or wrong, good or bad. I'm just happy my son is now forming his own opinions and appreciating the world we live in.
