Without wanting to be offensive (seriously - there's nothing wrong with

Or, perhaps more to the point, it's what makes me not an art snob.

If caring about the quality of my work makes some people think I'm a
snob, I can live with that.

I won't show a shot unless it passes at least a dozen tests WRT to
focus, exposure, colour- balance, composition, etc, regardless about how
sentimental I might feel about it.

I don't generally take pictures of anything that I'm remotely capable of
feeling sentimental about.

No, I was referring to being sentimental about the shot itself, not the
subject. The difference is subtle, but important.
