I think a good picture is usually something different from other photos. Like looking at a subject from an unusual angle or composed in an interesting way. It has to be a picture that is is either interesting or very pleasing. Pictures that have a story to tell are good to, or make you think. For example if you have a photo of an old man standing at a bus stop, does it make you think 'I wonder where he's going' or does it just look like an old man at a bus-stop? Some photos just suggest that something is about to happen. So really I think that most of the credit has to go to the photographer for just seeing the possibilities!

Sometimes you can see a picture and think 'I wonder what happened next?'. An example would be you see a dog jumping and a few yards away a woman with a toddler in a pushchair with an ice-cream - and it gets you thinking about whether the dog got the ice-cream, landed in the pushchair or ran after a seagull instead. Or you might see a picture of a tennis racket lying by the side of the road - and it makes you think 'how did that get there?'.

There are many components to a good photo. The bottom line in a good photo is in the eye of the viewer.

Hi Kissmylense, that is a difficult question to answer, why ? In my humble opinion, the good photography depend from who or the poeple who see the photo, and from the photograper too. If you are an idealism photografer, everything that you shoot is a good picture for you and you don't really care for what people say, but if you are such as a wedding photografer the good picture or not was depending to your clinet. Even you create the picture with a good technical and best composition, but your client don't like it, its not a good picture. :)

I agree with the statements and i also consider the environment where photography is carried out. To think about a good photo we have to think of light which is enough and also a good surrounding that matches the object whose photo one is taking.
