what makes a good photo




Since I wasn't here I'm supposed to just type a couple of paragraphs and give an example so here goes.
   
      I read all of the links for the examples and the first one I read was an intelligent view. But I found the writing style completely distracting becasue all it seemed like was him talking about how good of a photographer he was and everyone should bow before him. However I did love the photo that he took  because of the ,ultiple ways he used to draw your focus inot the picture. The endges of the building met almost exactly at the center of the picture which drew you straight in and then it spread out into the edges giving a sort of forced perspective. He spoke of the lense he used which made the edges not as in focus which also effective at ddrawing your attention straigh to the subject . But the  thing I love the most is the way that the colors complement eachother in a noticible but not distracting way.
   the second link was a lot more about what makes a good photographer which I've always thought as a huge piece of what really makes a good photo. A photographer really has to consider why they took a picture , because to me you can really feel why someone took a photo and how they feel about it. or maybe just the feelings it evokes in someone else .
But after reading everything to me a good photo is something that makes you stop and pay attention it has something unique whether its a color or light source or just evokes a feeling a good photo makes you stop and look at it .
