I dunno. I've frequently found just the opposite to be true; that others find my work a lot more pleasing than I do. It's one reason I post so few PESOs.
I think we often look at our own images with an eye to all the things we wanted to do and failed to accomplish, while others just see the things we did. From: Igor Roshchin
I thought I'd share this story. Typically we all like our own photos more than other people do, but here is the opposite case. Yesterday, a friend of mine contacted me telling that she came across one of my photos she hadn't seen before, and that she enjoyed it a lot: http://42graphy.org/tango/dallas-2008-12-13/IMGP4909.html In the followup exchange, she mentioned that it reminded her of these: http://www.tangoartist.com/blogs/latest-news-from-dvora/291892-tango-calligraphy The interesting thing is that I didn't quite remember about this photo taken more than 4 years ago. Even at that time, I was not sure about it. Obviously (?), it was not intended this way when I pressed the shutter button. But it had rather abstract look that prevented me from deleting the photo. I am still not quite convinced, but if somebody enjoys it, - why should I object? Igor
