I am trying to improve my "photo assessment/interpretation" skills, so I might be looking at the wrong things, misinterpret, state the obvious, etc. But putting emotions into words hopefully helps improve my skills.

Humans are better describing their visions through words than by images. The phrase 'an image tells more than 1000 words' is actually correct so far as our ability to communicate visually is concerned: we have much better and refined tools of communication in our language.

indeed. That system evolved over many, many, many years after our ability to communicate via visuals was no longer enough. BTW: there are people, so-called "image thinkers", who can visualize instantly and see something as an image but do have difficulty putting it in words. Parallel processing/"whole image thinking" occurs mainly in the right side of the brain, while our language center is in the left side of the brain (exception: left-handed males).

Many people ask me how on earth did I get that result from the scene they witnessed themselves, and my answer is always 'pure spinal reflex' thus envisioning something  I later really have to analyse to cast into words. Then I can see the beauty and logic of it.

I like that phrase, especially the "pure spinal reflex".

it is a steep learning curve but if you a tad talented and ready for many years of hard work it might get you somewhere.

Business in another thing, also talent and work but also be ready to fall on your face and get up stand up again.

Photo business is both and no guarantee you will be either rich or famous....
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.
