Sometimes you have to look at a photo many times before you actually see what attracted you in your mind's eye. Sometimes you have to work it through the many filters that we have.
Here are some of mine:
I don't like the light.
The background is distracting.
It needs color.
I wish I had some (name the film or the filter).
It's boring or uninteresting from this perspective.
It is not what I thought it was.
Too many people.
Wrong angle.
Wrong light.
Sometimes you have to visit the same place many times to get the light you want.
Sometimes you have to have your mind's eyes looking at different times.
Sometimes it will not be art until you have made the image and can "see" it as you "SAW" it anyway.
Make the capture. Take it home. Pull it out once in a while. Some photos are like old clothes. We just have them hanging in our "photo closet" but we don't wear them. Computers have "shoe boxes" where you might store them away until you and the image are ready to be reacquainted.
