Yeah, looking back now I hate it. I posted it several months ago. Isn't it funny how you do something and like it, then later wonder what you were thinking. It's either because we are biased or because we saw the process and problem solving that took us to the final image and we loved the process but once we forget about that we see the final image in a fresh way, just like what others would see.

You know that really does happen to most of us! There is a story about Ansel Adams looking back over prints that he made from the same negatives over a number of years (Moonrise comes to mind) and seeing that he had started to print them darker and darker. He had no idea why. However, he did see that most of them had gotten too dark and started to better monitor and match prints from different batches.

oooh I used to do that with color correcting. Being able to write actions for a batch of images that are all the same is so helpful. I would notice that my images would get increasingly more red. Red is the color I have the hardest time with, probably because I photograph people and skin tones are red, but I can see when something is too blue or two yellow, but the green/red shifts elude me.
