You only get GOOD when you know how to step back and edit a photo from a bit of distance. Then we get BETTER when we learn that subtle mind shift that separates image from emotions and just sees the photo isolated all by itself. Then we get BEST when we learn what's GOOD and only let people see those ones! Congrats to Ted for being the ever-present, objective and persistent instructor, prodding us all to do our BEST!
