[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 24667, member: 1573"] That's only true if your photos don't look like they were "taken on the fly". Critiquing is all about "could have's or should have's" because we take what we learn from other people's perceptions and apply it to the next time. There's more to photography than the two levels you stated: snapshot and staging. It sounds to me that once you take a shot, you're done with it and don't have any plans to revisit it for whatever reason. And what you consider "staging" is many times simply waiting for the "decisive moment". The big difference between a "snapshooter" and a photographer is that the photographer makes the photo rather than just take it. And making the photo means composition, lighting, technique, etc., and knowing when to click. It also means critiquing your own work seriously and going back for a redo when you think you can do better. [/QUOTE]
