Another great piece of writing and perspective, Gill. As always. I totally agree that a good image has nothing to do with the technical aspects, it’s how it makes us feel as a photographer and the viewer feel as well. You know somewhere deep inside you when you have a good image, either in the field or back at your desk. It’s that “oh yes, I like that” moment.

Over the years I’ve come to accept that these don’t appear every time you get your camera out. With patience however, they will and when they don’t, well you are just practicing and keeping your creative muscles warm until the next one.

a good image is one that speaks to me, is as simple as. and yes there is a distinction between creating a good image and good work
