Why These Photos Don't Work (I tried, I worked the scene, and I FAILED!)

Pro photographers never take a bad picture, right?? Au contraire mon frère! Personally I take thousands of crappy photos every year. And it's not because I'm not trying. Sometimes, no matter how hard I try, I just can't make the shot work. In this video I show two failed shoots where I really wanted a great shot, but I just couldn't pull it off, even though I was in a fantastic location and had beautiful light. I talk through the problems I faced, the mistakes I made, and how you can avoid falling into the same traps I did.
