HAR!

A little story.

Way back when, I had some very good photographers look at my work. Their
comments were always something like, "That works", "That doesn't work", "The
color is a little off on that one", and the one that pleased me the most,
"tapping on the photo with a pleased nod".

When I showed the same photos to mediocre photographers they explained every
thing that was wrong with them in detail, every single photo was defective
in one or more ways.

When I showed them to poor photographers they were all wonderful, and they
wished they had a camera like mine instead of the one they had which took
bad photos.

So, the answer to how do you determine is a particular photo is good is
simply ask yourself, "Does it work?"
