I think that's just the life of a photographer or any image maker. No one sees exactly what you see in your own photos. Sometimes they see nothing where you see something, and sometimes they may see something other than what you see. (And every now and then someone goes raving about a photo you almost didn't post.) I often get different reactions to images posted here and on Instagram, and I've also posted images I really like that get no more than a tepid response anywhere. And once I got an HM in the IPPA for a photo that didn't even make the podium in one of the challenges here.
We all bring our own "stuff" to any image we view, so what strikes sparks for one person can be just a damp squib for another. And those reactions might be reversed at a different time or in a different context. The image itself may fix a moment in time forever, but the moment of viewing the image is forever fluid (time, place, context, personal emotions, etc.)
