This may be a bit touchy...
It's not unusual when reading critiques here to come across the phrase, "I know your customer will love it, and that's all that really matters."
Really?
I hope not. If we're the photographers, isn't it more important that we, with our background, want more? If we satisfy someone who has little or no knowledge of what we do or what is possible, it that really all that matters?
If I deliver a photograph that's mediocre, and the customer accepts it, have I let them down? Did I "get away" with something?
