I scanned your gallery and commented on the Cobalt Blue Room. To me, that is the best of the lot but that is simply my personal preference. Some quick thoughts on photography and art in general. You can do the work for your own personal pleasure or you can do it, in hopes of pleasing other people. Your choice. I've made mine. Photography, as any art, has a technical side and an artistic side. Right brain, left brain thing. You can follow either trail as far as you like and achieve great results from either perspective. You can combine the two, with any quantity of mixture. Or, you can abondon all and just let it happen. Ironically, you could lay your camera on the floor and have the cat step on the shutter release and simply by chance, take a better picture than any you have ever taken. If it makes you happy, it is worth doing. If you are only happy when other people approve of your work, forget it.
