The hardest aspect of photography for a lot of people face is seeing and capturing a compelling moment, to get a image, or series of images, that engages the audience. We all try to make technically perfect images (sharp, no noise, ideal composition, not distractions etc...), but this means nothing if the scene itself is not interesting. A technically perfect boring image is still a boring image, but an interesting scene, albeit not technically perfect, is still interesting. So, when shooting anything, look for the story and context in your image. Try and identify the emotion in the scene and capture it. Try to get the technically perfect capture, but not at the expense of the image. :)
Happy new year and happy clicking!
