Hi Winsor, it is not that think it is a bad photo, these were more
toward the top of the reject pile. I really enjoy photography and
time goes by fast when I am engaged with it. It is hard for me
to judge my own work, and maybe I should just revisit them later.
It is like winter shots with snow, at the time you have seen so
much snow already, it seems ordinary, but maybe during the
summer, they look fascinating.

Travel photography has that advantage, the beach may be
gorgeous but if you lived their all the time, it becomes
ordinary.

So reject for now means it remains in a folder on my disk
drive. When I look at this last one, I see the two houses in
the background, the water I have seen much smoother,
or with mist rising, etc. etc. But soon the trees will be fleshed
out with leaves and I won't get this type of shot until next year.
In two months this may look like a great shot to me.

So, I'm trying to train my mind to see beyond the ordinary
in the ordinary world. Maybe I'll keep this. Time will tell.
Thanks.

WayneS
