I posted a similar photo earlier this fall -- in that one a motorcycle was going down the road away from the camera. I thought it was my best photo from this spot in the Eastern Sierra's Lundy Canyon.
But maybe I was wrong. Maybe it's better to have a person walking toward me. If push comes to shove, I'd probably now pick this one as the better one.
This happens all the time. I shoot a bunch of stuff and then go back later and find a photo I overlooked. Or I look at a photo that I really liked and think it now sucks.
The lesson: go back once in a while and look at your stuff critically. Or try processing in a different way. And for God's sake, keep your original images (preferably on an external hard drive) and don't mess with them!
Please feel free to check out my photography at my SmugMug site where prints are available for purchase beginning at $11 for an 8 x 12. And follow me on Twitter; I lose a few followers every time I tweet!
