WHAT MAKES A GOOD PHOTO (Class results)

I believe that a good photo has meaning to the person that took it. That it shows how a person thought through the photo. I believe that a photo shows someones true feelings, passion, and someones character. Someone can show true beauty through a good photo

a good photo begins with good composition and correct settings (aperture, exposure, white balance...). then the actual subject matter of the photo should be moving, interesting, unique, or clear and recognizable such that it draws an audience's attention

A good photo is something that the photographer is proud of making. It could involve an aperture setting or not, as well as a slow or fast shutter. A good photo is what the photographer makes of it and what they want the viewer to think.

A good photo can teach you something, make you feel something, and understand something. A photo can say many words without a single letter in the picture. It tells a story.

The idea behind it, like the motivation or audacity to take it.

A good photo has a story behind it. Prefect lighting and color.

-Something the photographer is passionate about
-An interesting angle
-A photo that gives you an sense of the feeling or topic from their point of view
-Contrast

My opinion on what a good photo is, is something that you have come up with you let the creative flows go and tells a story.

-The emotions/message it conveys.
-The composition
-The editing (no radioactive 100% saturation pictures please)
-Lighting
-A creative mind
-The belief that the photo is good
-How it's taken
-The subject(s)

good composition
vibrant or flowing color
good flow throughout the image
has a story

A good photo is something that has meaning and a story behind it. Understanding what you see and what you don't see. 

the meaning and composition

Creatively composed, manipulated, and/or processed

I really look into the composition of the picture itself when I first look at an image. I think this is what speaks the loudest.

- it has a story
- there is an intention to it, or it could not

I think a good photo could be having different meanings when one looks at it than another person when they look at it.

A good photo consists of creativity and focusing on a subject in an interesting way.

A good photo conveys a message or idea and have a meaning behind it.

Eye catching

Specific textures and lighting

Purpose

the photo has the correct depth spacing and light

A good photo is made up of angles, lighting, placement, and selective objects.

quality or the story behind the picture

A good photo should make someone feel something or open someones mind to a new idea.

meaning or what it makes the people think when they see the photo

A good photo has deeper meaning to the photographer who took the photo. It has to have true passion behind it.

If the photo means and represents something more than just the image.

- good composition (rule of thirds?)

- harmonious colors

- focal point

a good story or subject

For starters, I think a good photo is exposed properly, edited well, but also includes an interesting subject or idea. Most well known photographs contain symbolism, or a deeper meaning.

I think what constitutes a good photo is the lighting and angle.

A good photo has a controlled format and appropriate lighting. :)

-It is different and unique and a lot of thought and effort was put into getting the best possible photograph

The lighting

angles

composition

- the feeling the viewer gets while looking at it
- lighting
- angles
- positioning

Using your imagination and being confident towards your work constitutes a good photo

What constitutes a good photo to me is something that is pretty mellow going on in the picture, but has a lot of meaning in it.

A good photo consists of good placement of the subject, and lighting.

The creativity put into the photo and originality of your photo. What you may use in the process of taking the photo and developing it will contribute to how well you do. Is it your own?

A good photo should be something that means or makes you passionate about something


- Artistic depth
- Detailing
- Infliction of emotion in the viewer
- Individuality
- Being unique to the photographer
- Having meaning in the background
- Not so general

Angles, lighting, composition,

A good photo is constituted of a good background, good lighting effects, and a capturing subject.

-MEANING
-DETAIL
-ANGLES
-COLORS

Balance
Purpose
Passion
That's all I can think of, as many great photos are unplanned. Many photos cannot be predicted and therefore cannot be taken with intention. While many great photos do include high contrast and vivid colors, that is not a requirement. 

In my personal opinion, I believe that a good photo should have some sort of purpose behind it. For example, if the photo is blurry or another error is made, in order for it to be considered a good photo, the photographer must have used the blur in order to convey a specific message to the viewer.

I think that the passion and interest you have in photography makes you a good photographer.
