... as compared to what or whom? We are sometimes our own worst critics. You took a photo of something that means you saw something that YOU liked and the way you liked it. Unless you going to sell your photos or provide a service, if you love your shot, that is all that matters. If you plan to become a professionals, learn from one and correct your mistakes. From there spin off on your own style and compositions! Remember all the rules of compositions that you have learned, they forgot to teach you the last rule ... sometimes you need to break the rules! Go out, experiment, and try different ways to take a photo. Be creative and be an artist. The photographer is painting the picture for the rest of us to see and appreciate. Interpretation is up to the individual, including the artist (aka photographer). The fun comes in when one tries to figure out what the photographer is intending to illustrate. The photo may jump out and speak to us and then it may not; however, as long as the eyes that saw the picture appreciate the captured moment, it is all that matters.
