The ability to critique your own images is an important skill to have as a photographer. Unfortunately, simply asking “Is it good” is a bad question to ask as it begs comparison. Is it good compared to what? And if the answer is no, can you not learn anything from the image?
I believe asking a series of 4 questions will better to serve you when critiquing your own images as it will help you to save time editing and best discover your strengths and weaknesses as a photographer.
The questions I ask are
1: Is this a good moment?
2: Where do my eyes go? or Is there a clear subject?
3: Does the composition lend itself to the image?
4: Does this photo need any editing to fix mistakes in camera settings?
