Wow, that last one is a knockout, Wayne. The central placement of the  
white tree is brilliant.

Why would you reject it? And what does it mean when you reject it?  
Hang it in a dark corner or throw the image file into the recycle bin/ 
trash?

I realized long ago that even if I had any talent and spent a lot of  
time in self promotion,  the chances of someone sucking in their  
breath with one of my photos 50 years from now is pretty slim. More  
likely is a mass die off with starving people gasping for breath. Old  
photographs by one of the previous 6 billion people will be low on  
the priority list.  I just try to enjoy myself. For me it is a reason  
to look at the world around me. I had started to get stale when  
digital came along and, boy, has that been fun. But we change. If  
photography no longer does it for you, pack the camera away and open  
a tattoo parlor, or whatever floats your boat. None of us are going  
to be posthumously famous.
