As a Photographer it is very important to be able to critique your own work with development in mind. It can be hard to admit areas in which you need to improve, but being open minded and objective in doing so will dramatically help you improve as a Photographer. Analysing your images strengths and areas for development is a key criteria for all of the formal Photographic courses at every level. 

In order to improve your technique and images it is important to keep a visual record of your work.
Note your strengths and areas for development. Here are a few key points to consider when analysing your images:

Lighting
Describe the lighting on your scene. Is your exposure correct?

Shadows
Describe the shadowed areas in your image. Do the shadows add to the image?
 
Mood 
What mood are you trying to get in your image? How can you acheive this?

Technical Information
What settings did you use for the photo and how do they effect the image?

Impact 
Does the image grab your attention?

Focus
Where is your point of focus and is it where you wanted it to be?

Creativity with Composition and Angle
Have you played with the positioning of your subject in the frame?

Colours
How do the colours work together or against each other in your image? What mood do they help communicate?

Story Telling
Does your image tell a story? How can you make it more appropriate to what you are trying to communicate?
