How and why self critique in photography is good:
Seeking to surprise yourself and delight yourself
This seems to be the first thing. For myself, I delight most in my photography when I look at my photos (new or old) and am surprised by how unique or interesting the compositions are!
Seeing more artistically
When I see this photo as a small thumbnail, I see the Creation of Adam [Hand of Man]:
Seeing the world more abstractly
To see the world too literally is anti-artistic. To see the world more abstractly is superior.
The never-ending process and journey
Then the goal:
Never stop.
