How critical are you of your OWN work?

I drive myself crazy.

Yes, i am my own worst critic.

Yeah, I guess I'm pretty hard on myself, but I think that's how we push ourselves to get better. I'm certainly not a professional, but I can understand that even professional images and be picked apart and there really isn't and image that will satisfy everyone or all of our needs.

But on the other end of that, if we never made mistakes, we wouldn't know what it is to be perfect.

I think at a certain point you'll have to ask yourself if it's good enough. If you're spending so much time on a single image that you can't move onto any other work, then you probably need to get help for OCPD. lol

Yes, sometimes i would actualy say 99% of the time i hate my work!

For example i just made a photobook for my Girlfriend, for her Mums birthday - cant say i actualy liked one of them

My girlfriend thinks my shots are really good, nice clear and crisp, but i dont enjoy them! I pick the hell out of them!

I printed a picture off 2 nights ago, i said my normal stuff, "Humm not sure if that is light enough" an then i get hurled abuse by the other half "Only because you have pro photographers eyes, i think thats perfect"

Whoa, whoa, whoa, way too many lines and words - first I was like what? and then I was like huh?, oh, and then I got bored - something about cropping... (sorry, my take on the quote from one of the cats in the movie Bolt).

Good use of time contemplating issues with your own work to improve. I think you know what to do in the future.

Very critical. Sometimes to my own detriment.
