When looking at a photo, what you should be looking for, so that you can say this is a good picture. A photograph is a message. It conveys a statement of an impression or an emotion. You are an author trying to convey this message in a clear, concise, and effective way. The recipe for a good photograph is: "A foreground, a background, and nothing else."
The very first thing you would ask yourself about a photo is whether it is in focus or not. Any picture
which is not in focus doesn't get much additional consideration.
The second thing you will ask is whether the photo has been properly exposed, is it too light, too dark,
or just right?
You should ask yourself whether it's clear what the subject is in the picture.
You should ask whether the photographer made the best use of the frame. This has several parts to it.(a) Did the photographer get close enough? More photographs are ruined because of a failure to get close
enough than for any other reason.
(b) Did the photographer take advantage of the best choice for holding the camera? Many people forget
that 35mm cameras can be held vertically to produce portrait format shots.
In the case of many photographs, choosing the right moment to snap the shutter is of paramount importance - a second too soon or a second too late and the image wouldn't have been the same. So I ask
myself was the picture taken at the right moment.
