Radiant Vista
I have mentioned Radiant Vista in the past but I think it a good enough resource that it's worth mentioning again. I popped over last night and listened to his comments on a submitted image, two young people sitting in what looks like warm late day light, the fellow taking a picture, the young woman staring into the distance (presumably at what he's photographing. My initial impression was 'nice picture' but Craig was able to find a goodly number of things to improve the image, all of which, in hind site; made sense and improved the image. Sometimes we can't improve an image because we simply haven't seen examples of the kinds of improvements that could be made. My next book is going to address that but in the mean time, Radiant Vista is an excellent resource for pointing out how to improve already good images.

Coincidentally I was listening to a podcast interview with Craig and visited the site too. As you stated, seeing what can be done to an already good image offers insights that may not be seen at first glance. Great site to visit often! Another is the Candid Frame - interviews with various photographers - always insightful and often inspirational
The Candid Frame interview of Freeman Patterson is especially good. It gets off to a slow start but Freeman offers a number of important insights into creativity and becoming a better photographer so it's well worth persisting with.
Yes, Freeman's is great. I've been using my commute time to listen to these podcasts and keep the inspiration flowing while doing my "real" job. Freeman's was most inspirational,letting us know 70% of his images have been done within 1.5km of his home -encourages one to look more closely at our suroundings.
