When you create things (like photographs) you become emotionally attached to them.  Consequently, you are often not in the best position to judge whether your creations are any good.

Having said that, I’m normally pretty accurate at predicting which of my images will be favourably received.

However, I still get fooled.  Sometimes, what I thought was good, you think is, well…

Here are 5 images I posted over the last few years that received minimal or no comments.  They were figuratively sucked into a vacuum and left for dead.

I realize that perhaps you may have been away when I first posted them.  Or, perhaps you were too pressed for time, and couldn’t leave a friendly comment.

But I am instead going to assume that you disliked these images.

How could you? 🙂

Top 5 Images that I liked — but you didn’t.

1. Bajan Tapestry.

This was photographed last month, so I admit I may be biased by the recency of my creation.  Yet, I believe this may be one of the best images I’ve ever created.

2. The Kick.

The proverbial decisive moment.  Caught on film, no less.  Whimsical, and perfectly composed with a dash of symmetry.  Tell me otherwise.

3. The Kiss.

It’s all about Love.  You would have to be heartless to ignore this one.  And you did.

4. The Window, Part 2.

Reflections, connections, and longing gazes.  Life as a dream.  Works for me.

5. Portrait of an enigmatic young man.

So enigmatic, it confused you.  I guess.

There are other examples, but I won’t berate you any more.
