I couldn't help it but take your comment as a big complement, essaljay.
Thanks so much, for your thoughts about my work and specially because you are telling this.
You made an grownup girl really be happy....
About keeping and deleting pictures, I had also the idea of deleting all my work last year. I think everyone thinks the same onece in its life. It is like "I want to start again but now with much more experience, and I am sure I won't do these mistakes again..." I talked about this with G, and he told me that it was not possible, that it was somehow part of my learning history, and you can't wipe off all you have done to reach the place you are now, and lose all those testimonials of your experiences.
I took his advice and I didn't delete anything. However, I delete a lot of my pictures now, if they are not right at the first time, I delete the whole series and start from scratch, specially with pictures I can replace just by going to the supermarket and buying a new bunch of flowers or going again to the lake and take the picture again.
I found that if I keep those pictures, they will be acting like hooks, and I will be trying to make them work however. Working hours of post processing, cloning, cropping, resizing... I was, sometimes, in the position that I had to win, no matter how but I want it to work. At the end, we all know that a great post processing, image manipulation start with a good picture. So, now I delete a lot and try again. The only pictures I keep are the ones I use as reference to know what I did, not to do it again, or the ones that I think they might work with a post processing I don't know at this moment how to do but I am sure it will work. Textures, kind of stock photography and I also keep pictures of my trips.
Just few days ago I worked on a picture I stored for more than one year, I loved my picture, but I didn't know how to show what I wanted to show. I reworked with it again, and I played with my bw greenish technique on it and it worked!!
About your pictures RP, sometimes you get boring pictures, I know that well, but if your picture is technically good, you can work with them, and make them interesting working colors, adding textures, changing somehow the mood in your picture. I have seen really nice work out there with this kind of pictures, and when you imagine them without any post processing they are just plane boring pictures.
