When you first look at a photographand make an intial judgement of it as being 'great', is it because it is techincally great or becasue it makes you feel something? In other words, are you reacting to its techinal quality or its emotive quality? Explain it in detail.
When I look at a photo I initially judge it by the emotion that it evokes in me. That is how I personally judge whether it is a good picture. If I am guessing the story, if I am taken aback, if I am wanting more, or if I am sweept away that is how I judge a picture right off the bat. I like to think what message the artist was trying to convey, or what they are trying to make me feel when I first glance at a picture.
It is then after that, I focus on the technical stuff. I look for whether the picture is clear. I then look for the creativity and uniqueness to the picture. After learning more about lines and shapes that play parts into the pictures and I now pay mote attention to them. Lighting also catches my eye. These type of technical things play a role in how I view the quality of a great picture, but emotion is what I focus on most.
