What Makes a Good Photograph?
What makes a good photograph? This is a pretty broad question. You may be thinking that it also has a different answer for every person, and you’d be right. There must be some kind of criteria though, otherwise why do some photographs win prizes, and others not?
How much of a difference does the subject make? Can a tractor, like this one, really be photographed in a way that would make it a good photograph? I guess that depends on your preference. For some reason I love old farm buildings and equipment - especially if they have some colorful rust on them - but that’s just me.
Composition is a term bandied around quite a bit - and it is vital - but sometimes an image that breaks all the rules can be outstanding.
