What Ken said. I try to distance any emotion or the 'knowledge that I was there' when I critique my images. That tends to taint objectivity.
I ask myself 'If this was someone else's image and not mine, would I like it as much?'. I look at those that make the cut a number of times and a few days later. If something bugs me about a shot then, I generally toss it. If I'm unsure whether it's good or not, I generally toss it.
