# 10 : Review Review Review
If you are serious about improving then you need to be serious about reviewing and critiquing your work. How do the shots you took today compare to your favourite images from the pro’ climbing photographers?
Pull out your best two climbing photos. Why do you call them your best? What ‘makes’ those pictures for you?
When you’re editing your next shoot, pause before you hit the delete key on the rejects. Pick a couple. Why are you about to trash them? Why are they ‘bad’ photos?
Pick a couple of the ‘keepers’ that didn’t get a top star rating. Why did they miss that star? What would need to be different/improved upon?
It’s okay to be your own harshest critic. But be disciplined and allow yourself to experiment and fail. Know when to silence the inner critic completely or you’ll stifle your own creativity.
Equally good is to have other people give you feedback. Obviously you should only invite constructive, well-intended criticism. The UKC photography forum is one place to look.
In our exclusive interview with top UK climbing photographer Tim Glasby, he repeats the message, “Be honest with yourself about the quality of your work”.
By inviting comment and self-review I learnt I often compose too tightly on the climber and missed out on other compositional elements and context. Once I was aware of this I put more effort into my compositions. Despite strong colourful elements in #10.1 I wish had got further out from the rock so we could see Al’s left arm and feet, and composed a wider shot to get a sense of the position’s height. Being higher than the climber would have helped out here.
# 10 : 再三回顾
    如果你很认真地想提高攀岩摄影的技术，那么你需要很认真地回顾和评判自己的作品。你今天所拍摄的片子和你最喜欢的专业摄影师拍的片子，比较起来如何？
    找出你最喜欢的两张攀岩照片。为什么这两张是你最喜欢的？是什么成就了这两张照片？
    当你准备后期下一张照片的时候，在按下删除键前，暂停一下。选择两张，为什么你要删除它们？为什么这些照片“不好”？
    再选两张不是最好但又可以“保留”下来的照片。为什么这两张不是最好的？想要提高/表现不同还需要做哪些事情？
    你大可以给自己恶评。但是要有章法，允许自己实验和犯错。知道什么时候只是心里有数就好，不然就扼杀自己的创造力。
    还有一点也不错，那就是让其他人给你意见。很明显，你应该找一些善意的，有建设性的评论者。UKC摄影论坛就是这样的一个地方。
    在我们对英国攀岩摄影师Tim Glasby的独家访问中，他反复强调这一点“要坦诚面对自己摄影作品的品质”。

    通过征求到的评语和自我回顾，我发现我拍的照片经常构图太满，以至于会失掉了一些构图元素和环境。自从我发现了这点，我就对自己的构图作出了一改变。尽管示例10.1中，色彩元素鲜艳，我还是觉得要是能再向外站一点就好了，这样我们就可以看到Al的左胳膊和脚了，还有就是构图应该再广一点，这样也可以表现出环境高度。站在比攀岩者高的地方有助于改善这个。
