I'm throwing this question out there to learn from the creative, artistic, visionary people on this forum. I'm not trying to stir a pot or start a debate...I'm deeply into photography only about a year; I still have so much to learn. But when I look through the critique sections, I'm always interested in the feedback people give based on their own opinions of what makes a shot *good*.

For me, again as a total novice, the technical aspect of *good* is when a shot is sharp, colors pop (I'm a fan of post-processing because of this), and there is an intentional (or seemingly intentional) framing. The non-technical (for lack of a term here) is when a shot evokes a response - it is moody, or it communicates something to me - a little hard to describe, I suppose.

But I really know nothing. So humor me. What do you think makes a shot *good*?
