I'm not a bad photographer - I've gotten past that mindset, finally. But I still have a hard time seeing myself as a good photographer. I'm nitpicking my photos. Over and over and over.
Let me show you what I mean.
A few weeks ago, A friend asked if I'd be willing to take some photos for his sister. This is one of the photos I got:
It's a great shot. It's well-composed, and the expression on their faces is so expressive. But I didn't use my fill flash, so there are shadows over the eyes of the woman on the right.
It's a small detail, but it's an important one. It's not a mistake I'm going to make again, but it's still a mistake. And small details like that are what's holding me back.
