That's my feelings. One never becomes perfect at this but I find it coming full circle now. I can look throught the viewfinder and think, "No that's not it", or "Yes, maybe this it". To tell the truth, for almost any image I see displayed on this or any other list that is widely panned, it's the fact that it did not receive critical editting by the photographer, or if an attempt was made, it still slipped through. In short it's very often the ability to say, "I took this picture and it sucks", instead of "This picture is good because I took it". Tom C.
