I see your point. If I wanted to teach, I might use it as an example, but on the other hand I think the result is important, not how I got there. There are many ways to see and make a picture. Once I felt how the contrast should be, there were a lot of different ways to get there. Just like, when I was there in the forest the forest itself was not important. It was what I wanted to show. Others would make something else, maybe better, but it wouldn´t fit with what I saw. I have taught some photography. Teaching rules seldom get far. Seeing other pictures and wondering why I like or dislike them is a lot better.
