Other opinions don't matter, on a fundamental level, because I do still derive satisfaction from the photo (I really do). I have it hanging here in my office, in fact, so that when I am typing I just look slightly above my monitor and it's right there. Prime real estate, if you will. But when no one notices I have to admit that part of me wonders why not. Well, I think it’s just one’s natural need to receive some kind of validation from others.

And I see that a few people have now commented on Flickr. But why would your opinion of your photo change if few view it and no one comments? If you like it, you like it even if no one else does, right? Other people's opinions of your photos really don't matter! I like the color AND the shallow DOF.
