For myself personally, the amount of work I put into obtaining the
image or post-capture processing has nothing to do with how I judge
the result. In fact some of my best images are ones that took almost
no effort at all. Conversely, sometimes the harder I try, the more I
screw it up.

Same with me, whether I'm keen on the final image or not depends on
the image, nothing else matters really (and it certainly won't to a
stranger appraising the same work)

That's largely true for me, too. But there are a couple of my favourite
images:

   http://www.jfwaf.com/PAW/PAW.php?name=PAW0651

and

   http://www.jfwaf.com/Recent%20Work/pages/CityStreets.html

where my satisfaction with the shot is to some extent based on the
fact that these are both images I deliberately set out to capture;
I knew (or at least hoped) what I would end up with before starting.

That's not quite the same as the amount of effort involved, but it
is something that only I, the photographer, know about the images.


John's "City Streets" is among my all-time favorite PDML pics. I was trying to think of the name of it the other day when race photography was being discussed. A true classic.
